Thanks José and Christian for your suggestions
Once I tried the resolution I realized I had to use the nofb option to
install then the resolution=1680x1050 worked fine though the monitor
wasn't identified exactly (small wonder brand new). Xorg.conf lists:
HorizSync 31.5 - 65
VertRefresh 50 - 90
With MANY resolution options.
If I set the vertRefresh to 60 - 60 like José suggested what would the effect be?
