17 Hello :)
18
19 Is it a notebook or desktop PC?
20 Is it a CRT or TFT?
21 What graphics card, what monitor?
22
23 What's the output of "lspci"?
24 What's the output of "xrandr --query"?
25 What's the output of "sudo get-edid | /usr/sbin/parse-edid"?
26
27 (You need x11-apps/xrandr and x11-misc/read-edid - both is probably
28 installed if you have X.)

30 Bye,
31 Daniel
