Excellent! Thanks. I'll try it. "no dice" meant that it went to try the
monitor, but had to come back to the install because it didn't fall into the
correct res. settings or went way out of range or something. I will try the
IBM monitor type and see if that helps. The NEC 3FGx is a 15" monitor. Is
the driver for the IBM 8507 a 15" also?
Again, I appreciate all of the help that everyone has given me.
Thanks,
Matt

Matt....if autodetect finds your card then leave that setting
alone. When you say "no dice" that's not telling us what
happened, you should be more specific. Anyway, I've found a
pretty good "least common denomimator" monitor to use in
Xconfigurator when a listed monitor doesn't work (my Princeton
E072 just went to a black screen that I couldn't exit from) or a
monitor isn't listed (it's worked in both cases for me). It's
the IBM 8507, try it ;-)
