I got the screen to work with the system by editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf changing the Horizontal rates, the size of the screen and the Modes for the screen. Unfortunately the display does not fit the monitor's size, too tall and not wide enough. I did play with the dimensions of the screen. There may not be drivers for the monitors, but the various systems have a knowledge of a list of monitors. The E2210H Dell is not listed on the F2 system. That would be a good reason for an upgrade. I will see if I can pull the system offline for an upgrade. I don't understand why the Mode entry in /etc/X11/xorg.conf does not seem to have any relationship to the Modes shown in the System/ Display gui. I coded in 1920x1080 in xorg.conf. The Display gui shows 1024xsomething and 1280x960.
