Just what I was looking for - a way of getting monitor info via DDC.
I'll give that a try.
Cheers
Andrew.

I have a slightly obscure HP monitor that is apparently not listed in
the dabatase Suse uses for configuring X. Also, my preferred mode is
not listed as a VESA mode in SaX2, so I can't choose it manually. My
preferred mode is 1152 x 864 at 32 bbp, 85Hz. Is there any way I can
get SaX2 / Xorg to list the refresh rates that my monitor supports at
a given resolution, in the same way that Windows does? If not, how
can I add the required information to Suse to allow me to select this
video mode? The closest mode I can get in Suse is as above except
75Hz, which is a bit annoying when I'm used to 85Hz in Windows. My
monitor is an 19 inch HP, model number A4575A.
Hi Andrew,
try editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf: There is a stanza "Modules". Add a line:
Load "ddc"
restart your X server and have a look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log. If your
monitor is capable of DDC you should find lot's of usable modelines in
the logfile. Just copy them to your xorg.conf.
