[rhn-users] any lucky user got experience with this?

[Sterling, James A]

I too have had a 'bit of fun' with getting the Dell 670 and dual
monitors running but the problem there is/was the nvidia drivers.. 

I got the very latest drivers from the nvidia site and even then I had
to 'fiddle' with the XF86Config file ..  But they do work and they work
nicely 

I also have at home a Dell 2005 and using an i810 video driver with
Fedora 4.. That work super.

Biggest thing that I needed to "read the book" was for the horizontal
and vertical sync information..  

Just to add my $.0002 to this :->

No problem.  I've had problem with the New Dell Flat Panel monitors a
few times.  I had to configure a Dell 670 with dual monitors earlier
this year, that was quite challenging.

Once you get the O/S installed go ahead and make a backup of this file
/etc/X11/XF86Config.
