Help with Monitor config

[Siddarth Srivastav]

hi all,
     i have the following problem, while configuring the system with
2.2.10 kernel.
     i have a Philips 170E monitor, which is not listed as a standard
monitor type. If i try with a nearest match of V&H frequencies, i manage
to get the X working, but i am not able to see the fonts.
     Anyway, what is the best thing to do in cases like these where the
monitor type is not listed and you have to get the thing working.
     i will grateful if people can Cc me, as i an not on the list.
