Lon,
Thanks for responding.
What I ended up doing was to create an entry in the
/usr/share/hwdata/MonitorsDB
file for my VX910:
ViewSonic; ViewSonic VX910; VS10162; 24-82; 50-85
The third entry was the model number (which may not be the EISA ID).
I then run the "system-config-display" command and choose the VX910.
Next I edit the /etc/X11/xorg.config file (actually the first time I
restarted
X and got the message "Out of Range" on the screen) and change the line
from:
VertRefresh 50.0 - 85.0
and
Modes "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
to:
VertRefresh 50.0 - 75.0
and
Modes "1280x1024"
(One could have changed the value in the MonitorsDB file, but it really
is 85
and I guess my video card can not handle it).
Now I get 1280x1024.
Richard
To sum up, my /etc/X11/xorg/config file contains(plus other stuff):
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "ViewSonic"
ModelName "ViewSonic VX910"
HorizSync 24.0 - 82.0
VertRefresh 50.0 - 75.0
Option "dpms"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1280x1024"
EndSubSection
EndSection
