my "Monitor" section from /etc/X11/xorg.conf looks like this:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
ModelName "Sony CPD-E200/E200E"
DisplaySize 330 240
HorizSync 30.0 - 85.0
VertRefresh 48.0 - 120.0
Option "dpms"
During the installation, FC2 found CPD E230 monitor, but to change from 85Hz
I have tried different SONY monitor types, that's why in the "MondelName"
appears "Sony CPD-E200/E200E" - and I don't know how to put back the name of
the monitor, wich FC2 found during the installation. But can I leave this
"Monitor" section as it is, just I must add the Modeline line:
Modeline "1024x768 111.18 1024 1072 1168 1376 768 769 772 808
+hsync +vsync"
just to be shure - is this correct?
