Hi all, I've been banging my head against a wall trying to get a horizontal and vertical refresh rate that would work with a new batch of flat screen monitors we have just starting using. Other monitors work fine. However the problem was more bizarre than I expected and nothing at all to do with refresh rates. --- The error from Xorg is "no screens found" and occasionally I get another error "AD is not a valid keyword" The problem arises because the monitor identifies itself as being a CDC 17" AD meaning my Xorg config will not work as it contains an error on line 63 monitor "CDC 17" AD" The extra set of quotes after the 17 (indicating 17 inches) is enough to break my config due to the unknown AD keyword. I believe that this identification string comes from the monitor, not the Xorg packages. 1) How can I use this monitor with Xorg (I have just bought 20) 2) How can we stop TS breaking for other users with monitors that identify them selves as 15", 17" or 19" versions. This could get more and more common as newer monitors start to appear. Thanks, any help would be appreciated.
