I am installing this on a Compaq V5000 laptop.
I will try to find some display info for the laptop and see if I can't set the frequency.

Thanks!

More info:
This is specifically what I have tried.

Login as root. Set up user id, password..then startx
it crashes...
Then do a $su -
#system-config-display

it crashes. I get a bunch of info on the screen but
not sure how to capture it for a file. Anyone know?

Since you get a shell
$ type script configureX.log
then type
$ su -
Password:
# Now type system-config-display Let it do its thing.
When it finishes/crashes/***?
you should see a # type exit (two times since you will start as regular user) and it should tell you script script done on .... and give you a $

If you know the Model of your Monitor and how much Horizontal Frequency and Vertical Frequency
The monitor has for instance, I have a ViewSonic
Graphics Series G75f, Monitor it has the following
Frequency, which I got from http://www.viewsonic.com/support/desktopdisplays/crtmonitors/graphicseries/g75fplusb/

INPUT SIGNAL  	Video  	RGB analog (75 ohms, 0.7 Vp-p)
Sync 	H/V separated (TTL), composite
Frequency 	Fh: 30~86kHz; Fv: 50~160Hz

It goes into xorg.conf as follows

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "Monitor0"
        VendorName   "ViewSonic"
        ModelName    "Graphics Series G75f"
        HorizSync    30.0 - 86.0
        VertRefresh  50.0 - 180.0
        Option       "DPMS"
EndSection



you can type them your self as root # you could also try
# Xorg -configure
it will return something like to test your Xorg file
type the following.
If you get back a mouse cursor on the middle of the
screen it is a start. # cp /root/Xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf
it will ask you to overwrite existing Xorg.conf you
can say no and back up the one that you already have
# cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf-bak then try the previous step again
and go ahead and type startx
You should at least get a working desktop.

Antonio

I am a new Linux user so this is a great big
adventure. ;)
