Monitor Notes For Linux

I could only get the default display of 640x480 to come up. I couldn't even select another resolution. Here what you do.

Take a look at /var/log/Xord.0.log

It will most likely say hsync out of range

Edit the Monitor section of /ect/X11/xorg.conf and include the following lines

  HorizSync    25-65
  VertRefresh  25-60

Of course you should specify the values for your system. Finally, don't expect all resolutions to work. For example 1024x768 didn't work for me, but 1024x1280 worked great!
