Successful dapper drake install on Dell Inspiron 9400 Core Duo

[spira_mirabilis]

OK, I tried gtf and editing the xorg.conf. I tried a few times, in the
monitor section, I also tried 75 and 30-60. These attempts caused me to
be unable to start the X Server or enter KDE, so I went into "recovery
mode" and reconfigured with dpkg to get back in.



Here is a sample (let me know if I'm doing this correctly!):


Code:
--------------------
    

  gtf 1920 1200 60

  

  1920x1200 @ 60.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 74.52 kHz; pclk: 193.16 MHz

  Modeline "1920x1200_60.00"  193.16  1920 2048 2256 2592  1200 1201 1204 1242  -HSync +Vsync

  
--------------------


I don't fully understand all of that output ..:-k

--------------------

(I left the 1440x900 the way that it was).
