LCD monitors have come down to within my price range & while my present CRT monitor has no problems, it has occurred to me that if it did go on the blink, I would buy an LCD to replace it & anyway might do so eg in 2006. The model which looks best today is a Samsung 713V 17" at CAD 299 (my present 5-year-old CRT monitor is a Samsung 550s 15" ).
I use Xorg & plan to go over to Udev in the near future; presumably with Udev, I would also have Hot/Coldplug installed. I recall that when I installed Gentoo 031005 , I had to copy manually the monitor lines from my previous box, which was running Mandrake, in order to get the monitor to work properly. Without a working screen, there's no way I could do that this time. My question to anyone who can advise is this: do I just unplug the CRT & plug in the LCD ? will it work so simply ? If not, what more is needed ? I looked at the Gentoo forum, wiki & dox, but found nothing to help. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto -- [email protected] mailing list
