I think the use of the monitor presets is of use for where the monitor cannot be detected (not everything used to identify itself - though that'd be older monitors, some things don't provide proper data, and sometimes you connect your monitor through equipment that blocks detection - such as KVM hardware). If the graphics card can poll the monitor for details, then that ought to be all that's required. Though, as the original poster said, they had to tweak manually. Perhaps they might submit their tweaks to a bugzilla entry. Their monitor might not work according the way it claims, or perhaps the monitor database can be updated to include custom tweaks for that particular monitor. -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ uname -ipr 2.6.23.12-52.fc7 i686 i386 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
