IS this the correct place to post a bug?

[Darren Critchley]

While it is not a fault of Ubuntu, I thought I would mention it here.
Xfree86Config does generate a problem with some monitors, mainly the 
ones it cannot figure out, while this is an XFree problem, I thought I 
would post it even though the plans are to move to the other X project.

When Xfree86 cannot figure out your brand of monitor it will place a 
generic statement in the config file. In the case of my monitor, a Sampo 
761 based model which comes up as a 17" Monitor.
The problem is, it actually writes the config file as "17" Monitor" as 
you can guess, the line becomes truncated at the second " and Xfree86 
will not start. This actually happens across all Linuxes, and I am aware 
of the problem, however, newbie to Ubuntu might not be so savvy.

Anyways, it is an Xfree problem, but I thought I would bring it to your 
attention as there are going to be some Ubuntu users out there that will 
encounter this problem, and they cannot be expected to edit the 
Xfee86Config-4 file to get X started.
