Hi Rick, thanks for the reply!
I'm not sure which model the monitor for the Inspiron 8600 is, so I
tried using the Generic LCD monitor for 1920x1200 using the
system-config-display command you suggested and when I tried that X
didn't crash, but it just got stuck on a blue screen.
Also I'm not sure on which section of the xorg.conf I need to specify
the amount of memory, I think it's not even specified at this moment,
can you advise where I can see that information?
Thanks again!
Yung.
