Probing Monitor from Postconfig

[James_Martin at ao.uscourts.gov]

You shouldn't need to do anything in post to configure the monitor.. Why 
not post your %post section here?  What monitor/video card do you have? 
All I do in my kickstart file to make it automatically probe for video 
info is have this line:

xconfig
