I was suprised when I installed Caldera (2.4 and 3.1) on a Dell. It has some Dell monitor. The install used the Plug 'n Pray for the monitor and identified it correctly. From that it set up the resolution rather OK. Each time I boot the log tells that I have a P79 (or whatever model Dell display it is).
On the other hand, I bet it does not do anything useful if I change the monitor. All this is probably an install time only feature. Same with the USB mouse. | > It's entirely different on Win.
