I maintain the MonitorsDB database. The entries are added from Microsoft Windows .INF files. The best way to have them added, is to file a bug report in Red Hat bugzilla against XFree86 or Xconfigurator and attach the .INF file for your specific monitor, or a manufacturer's line of monitors. I generally let them save up for a bit, then hunt bugzilla for them all and gang apply them all at once. I'd also like to make a note that anyone else is free to take this Monitor database and use it under GPL license or XFree86 license. The XFree86 team can include it in XFree86 directly as well if that is useful. I'd even volunteer to maintain it there as well. Hope this helps. _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
