cd to that directory, then type gunzip monitors.gz Then you can view the file. If you can't find any info on the monitor on the net, I sugest you start at the bottom and work your way up the settings. Like, choose most conservaative settings for hsync/vsync. Also, check the server you are running. What video card do you have? You could start with SVGA server, if your card is compatible with it. > > Do I want or need x on my computer?
