LCD monitors have come down to within my price range |
2 |
& while my present CRT monitor has no problems, |
3 |
it has occurred to me that if it did go on the blink, |
4 |
I would buy an LCD to replace it & anyway might do so eg in 2006. |
5 |
The model which looks best today is a Samsung 713V 17" at CAD 299 |
6 |
(my present 5-year-old CRT monitor is a Samsung 550s 15" ). |

8 |
I use Xorg & plan to go over to Udev in the near future; |
9 |
presumably with Udev, I would also have Hot/Coldplug installed. |

11 |
I recall that when I installed Gentoo 031005 , |
12 |
I had to copy manually the monitor lines from my previous box, |
13 |
which was running Mandrake, in order to get the monitor to work properly. |
14 |
Without a working screen, there's no way I could do that this time. |
15 |
|
16 |
My question to anyone who can advise is this: |
17 |
do I just unplug the CRT & plug in the LCD ? will it work so simply ? |
18 |
If not, what more is needed ? |

I looked at the Gentoo forum, wiki & dox, but found nothing to help. |
