I have heard one suggestion for working out your XF86Config file settings on a Gentoo box that might help....
Download/create a CD for American Army (which runs on Gentoo apparently), boot up to the GUI shell, but don't start the game. Then copy the XF86Config file from there. I'd imagine the same would work with Knoppix. HTH..

Is there any chance that xf86config will pick unsuitable sync rates, thus causing damage to my monitor? I'm getting a new LCD soon, and I can't find the appropriate sync rates. On another topic, is xf86config used by many distros (ie Fedora, Mandrake, etc...) on install, or do they use a different autodetection system? I am running gentoo, so I guess it really doesn't apply anyway.
