Monitor

[Richard_The_Lionhearted]

I have a monitor that isn't listed. All it says is this..........

60 hz 100~120v

I tried customizing the monitor but I guess I did something wrong.

Linux detected my video card, which is a Matrox Millennium with 2 mbs of ram. So can anyone tell me how to do this? I selected "60 hz vga monitor" and "50-70" but x-configured gives me an error.

okay what do you want my cpu, ram and hard drivwe size.

The Cpu is a K6-2 @ 500mhz

256mb of ram

and a 8.4 hdd

The distro is Mandrake 7.0. It's the only one so far that I have that I can install on this system.

And your monitor is ?

Add the refreshrates from the manual of the monitor to the xorg.conf file. Here's mine:

        VertRefresh  56.0 - 75.0
        HorizSync    30.0 - 83.0

I have a LCD so yours could be different. But the syntax is the same

Mine doesn't have that it is a Magnovox/Phillips cm2089 and it was made in 1995. That's all it says

Here's a link with some specs for that monitor:

Hope it helps...

Thanks.


But what am I suppose to put? It asks me to choose a monitor type, so do I pick 60 hz? And I don't understand the next question the next question when it asks me to pick between 50-70,50-90,50-100 and 40-120.

This is the range that the monitor can use at different resolutions.

Your vertical should reflect: 50-70
Your horizontal should reflect: 31.5 - 35.5

there lowest monitor hz listed is 56. So how am I suppose to input 31.5-35.5

Manually edit xorg.conf
