Thanks very much. Yes, that seems to be sufficient. I chose the generic LCD and 60Hz entry, then adjusted the Hor and Vert entries. This worked. Regarding the other question: When or how is the list of available monitors being updated? Is there any chance doing this by downloading data or is this automatically delivered with a new release? Not that important, but if someone knows...

From information I see on the web, for the fujitsu-siemens S7 these appear to be: HorizSync 30 - 80 VertRefresh 60 - 75 Mark.
