Fedora Core 4

Greetings
I just received a ViewSonic wide screen flat panel
LCD monitor.
Unfortunately, this model is not available in my
monitor list.
I have been told there is a way to configure (i.e.
add the dimensions
somehow) this in Linux. I have searched Google and
have not found
anything which is helpful.
Any hints on where to find help on this or if
someone is willing to
hand-hold me through a configuration, I would be
grateful.

Pete,
One way that I know how to do this is booting onto
level 2, when booting choose a and add a 3 and login
as root
type
# Xorg --configure
then test X server with instructions that appear at
the end type those and then CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE after
you know that it works.
#
# cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
overwrite xorg.conf? Choose yes. Then take a look at
the resultant xorg.conf file and Take a look at the
Horizontal Refresh and Vertical Refresh in the Monitor
Section. Make sure that it matches your
specifications in the Monitor section
Section "Monitor"
#DisplaySize 300 230 # mm
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "DEL"
ModelName "DELL D1028L"
### Comment all HorizSync and VertSync values to use
DDC:
HorizSync 30.0 - 69.0
VertRefresh 48.0 - 120.0
Option "DPMS"
EndSection
To add the 1440x900 lines look for the bottom lines
In the Section Screen
Where it says something like
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 16
# you can add here
Modes "1440x900" "1024x768"
"800x600"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1440x900" "1024x768"
"800x600"
EndSubSection
and test out your configurations. This should help
you out. In my xorg.conf file I do not need the
"1280x1024", "1024x768" lines, it works for me. In
your case you might need them to make sure that it
displays at the highest possible resolution/best
resolution for you.
Regards,
Antonio
