Yes, you can damage your monitor if you use incorrect horizontal or vertical refresh rates for your monitor. Look in your monitor's manual for the correct values and compare them to what you used in your XF86Config file to find out if that killed your monitor. __ Jorge -----Original Message----- From: Radek S.
