Monitor not recognized

[R. de Kuijer]

Hi Michael,

You can change in the program "System Settings -> Display" the monitor 
to a default type, example :
- if it is a TFT/Flat Panel use the option : Generic Laptop Display ???? 
x ???? (=resolution corresponding)

You can do this also by hand in /etc/X11 to change options in the 
config-file "xorg.conf" or "XF86Config".
For more information about the monitor you can check the logfiles 
/var/log/messages, /var/log/xorg.log or use from the command-line at 
runlevel 3
the command "startx".
This will give some output with interesting information.

Succes
Ronno
