Hello Stefaans
I tried Xconfigurator and I choosed many types of monitors that tested
well, in many resolutions and so I could enter X in failsafe mode, but I
still can't enter X in normal mode (linux) because the monitor enters
automatically in "suspend mode".
Can you help me editing the file XF86Config, or maybe this is another
kind of problem?
