9.04 Display Problem

[wirechief]

I have a lcd monitor that is not detected either, I have been told to
just get a DVI cable
and it will not have that problem, well i havent, i end up using a
terminal and doing
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and it usually works. I found this
url on google
it might give more information on the cables..
