Don't know offhand, but maybe if you posted the monitor model number, somebody can help research the question. Also, which is your version of Fedora (2.6 refers to your kernel, I expect) -- is it Fedora 9 or something earlier? Or you might try yourself a google search on linux samsung MMM where MMM is the model number. Regards, ..jim -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-newbie
