In general, the only thing the server needs to know about the
monitor is the horizontal and vertical sync ranges, which you
can put in the Section "Monitor" in the XF86Config file. From
information I see on the web, for the fujitsu-siemens S7 these
appear to be:
HorizSync 30 - 80
VertRefresh 60 - 75
