Hi Robert,
the mailing list had thrown me out due do too many bounces, so I am not 
sure if you already solved the problem or you still need help.
Anyway, if you have not done it already, then the easiest is probably to 
write
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
in a terminal window. This will give you the opportunity to manually 
tell the system what monitor you are using. If it is not in the list, 
then you might be lucky selecting a model close to being the same.
Good luck.
Oh by the way, it should normally be enough to just write to the mailing 
list and not directly to the individual members. Just in case you did 
this because there is a mailing list problem, I also did write to you 
directly.
