For me, Xorg -configure had always produced a more or less usable config |
| 131 |
file (apart from "dev/input/mice -- see other posts). Normally X sould |
| 132 |
also be able to detect your monitor settings automatically ... if not, |
| 133 |
something like (adapted to your monitor) |
| 134 |
|
| 135 |
Section "Monitor" |
| 136 |
Identifier "Monitor0" |
| 137 |
VendorName "IVM" |
| 138 |
ModelName "1920" |
| 139 |
HorizSync 30 - 96 |
| 140 |
VertRefresh 50 - 180 |
| 141 |
DisplaySize 366 274 |
| 142 |
EndSection |
| 143 |
|
| 144 |
should help. |
| 145 |
|
