A quick way to get it to see the monitor should be to move the xorg.conf
file out the way via a ssh session, then on the console, do
CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE to reload the X11 config, which wont be there,
therefore run through the inital config. if the session isn't logged in,
do ALT-F7 to get a text terminal and startx from there.
Good Luck.

Hi all,
I have an RHEL5 machine which had a working X11 config attached to an
old CRT monitor.
The monitor has given up the ghost, so we tried to plug in an LG
L1953T LCD display. Immediately we got the error "analog: out of
range" on the monitor, which is not too much of a surprise, X in
theory needs to be reconfigured.
Googling showed that we needed to run the following:
system-config-display --reconfig --noui
Trouble, is, this doesn't autodetect the monitor, and despite the
updated xorg.conf file, the error remains.
It seems that RHEL5 is capable of autodetecting the monitor during
initial system setup, but for the life of me I cannot find a way to
redo the X configuration process after the fact?
Is reconfiguring Xwindows this difficult or am I missing something
really obvious?
Does anyone know what command must be run to autodetect and set up X?
Regards,
Graham
