I checked the drivers DVD that came with it and nothing there. I then checked XP itself (I still have it installed in a shrunken partition) and there are a whole bunch of .inf files (it looks like thousands and is at least hundreds). There are eight "monitor" files (monitor, monitor2, monitor3, etc.). Looking at a couple of there file I see that they cover a number of manufacturers (monitor.inf includes Compaq and Dell). These files have a "Copyright by Microsoft" notice in each of them so I am not sure about the legality of sharing them. However, I would be surprised if the folks at Red Hat don't have XP installed somewhere in their organization so they should be able to find the same files I did. -- Gene
