Monitor problem

[andremangan at gmail.com]

The Samsung SyncMaster 205BW has a native resolution of 1680 x 1050 pixels

It has both Analogue and DVI ports.

Modern graphics cards have both Analogue and DVI ports.

If using DVI ports, all adjustments to the monitor are automatic via the
graphics card driver.

If using Analogue ports, monitor adjustments are made by the user.

If there is no graphics card but only a motherboard-integrated graphics
chip, a separate driver may be needed depending on the make of
motherboard.   Most of these are now installed by default in Hardy Heron (eg
xserver-xorg-video-intel).
