I am at work at the moment, so I can't check for you, but I remember having to edit xorg.conf and manually putting in my resolution and refresh rate. On 8/23/07, Ron Dean <rvdean(a)ihug.co.nz> wrote:

I'm thinking of upgrading my monitor to an Lcd . I want it for editing photographs with the Gimp . Are there any problem's to watch out for? I am running Ubuntu Feisty. What Hardware would you recommend. Are any monitors software dependent , I am only looking for a 17 inch monitor.
To be honest, unless you have a pretty tight budget 17" is small for graphics work. I have a 19" at home and keep running out of room :p. Also, you may get just as good an item from lesser known brands. Just make sure to do your homework. I'm running a Hanns.G which is quite nice, although the built in speakers are a waste of time.
I have got my new monitor and am unable to change my Screen Resolution from 1024x768 at 61HZ to the recommended 1280 x 1024 at 60 HZ I used the graphical screen resolution tool but it didn't give me that option I am using Ubuntu Feisty 7.04
