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.

I think it is Fedora 3. How can I tell the version number (other
than display of the kernel number at the dual boot screen)? When it
is loaded, the screen says "Fedora Core" without a version
number. Is there a way to get it to tell you the version number that
is running?
The monitor is a SyncMaster 2253LW flat screen.
