You might be able to setup the monitor through the generic
classifications from the LCD choices. You need to know the resolution of
your monitor to select a choice.

Regarding the monitor not being identified automatically, it might be
good to file a bugreport to get this monitor type added. I believe you
submit some information file from the windows driver and the monitor
might be added to the list and recognized in the future when the
information is added in later releases.
