Recently I gave up on a couple of other distro's wherein I could not get the
attached monitor to reach its native reolution of 1680x1050 pixels, which I
had been able to see with a debian ditribution until its Nvidia video card
broke. I retired that computer. The "new" computer is the troublesome one.
Now I am trying Trisquel 7.0, and I cannot find anything on how to configure
this Samsung SyncMaster 2253BW monitor. Its aspect ratio is an uncommon 8:5.
Please don't tell me I have to use another Nvidia video card ... it's as
nonfree as they get, and difficult to install as well.
I am willing to switch video cards, however; the present one that came with
this low-end HP 6430NX desktop PC is an S3 Graphics Ltd VT8375, a.k.a.
ProSavage. The RAM is 2GB.
