Hmm.. possible.
My computer is ca. 2 years old, but my monitor is ca. 10 years (no LCD or
something else). But the monitor can handle lot higher resolution then 1024x768.
How can I see which EDID data my monitor returns?
And why existing with Linux not the same problems like with OpenSolaris?

Thx for the info.
But as Live-DVD user I have with the standard-user account (withount installing
OpenSolaris) not the rights to edit file.
