Hi, miles, thx for ur help, but I still have a few more questions... 1) I don't have the specs for my monitor because it is a second hand monitor and I don't have the information 2) When I run Xconfigurator, after passing the first screen (by pressing ENTER), it has core dump... that's why I have to manually edit the xf86Config file.
Can you help?
