[newbie] New monitor setup on Linux

[Jeff Malka]

My old monitor just died.  I bought a new one which I am using from NT.

I remember reading scare stories about burning out you monitor if you use
the wrong monitor settings from within Linux.  I am therefore not booting
into Linux until I find out what I am supposed to do to set the monitor
display settings correctly.

Could someone tell me the exact steps to go through?

I am running Mandrake 7.1 and KDE

Thanks.
