Howdy Y'all,
I am planning to install FreeBSD this weekend and I am doing a hardware
inventory. I have a fairly new computer (bought brand new a year ago: Dell
something-or-other 5100C), with a flatscreen monitor and USB everything. I
looked for my monitor specifications last night and have found nothing
resembling the 35Hz, 800x600 stuff that is discussed in the handbook. this
would make sense, of course,...
All I've found in Windows Device Manager is something like "Intel 42985G
Chipset".
Whenever I've tried liveCDs (FreesBie, various linuces), they have all picked
out the monitor just fine (and most everything else). I just want to cover my
bases, in case I end up with a flickering screen, I want to be able to do
something about it.
Do you have any suggestions for where I should look for any monitor
specifications? What do I enter when I do my X configuration?
Thanks,
Joel
