[linuxfilo]

No se si usted venga de windows, si usted ha configurado cosas no windows quizas sienta el placer de configrara las cosas a mano.

Esisten muchas herramientas visuales como xfreeconfig, pero lo que hacen es editar el archivo /etc/X11/XF86Config

Hay es donde se guardan todos los parametros para el video vga svga, etc..
este es el archivo:
# XFree86 4 configuration created by redhat-config-xfree86

# RgbPath is the location of the RGB database. Note, this is the name of the
# file minus the extension (like ".txt" or ".db"). There is normally
# no need to change the default.
# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
# By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of
# the X server to render fonts.
RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"

# Specify which keyboard LEDs can be user-controlled (eg, with xset(1))
# Option "Xleds" "1 2 3"
# To disable the XKEYBOARD extension, uncomment XkbDisable.
# Option "XkbDisable"
# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults). For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
# Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
# Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# or:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
# Or if you just want both to be control, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps"

Como se puede dar cuenta lo unico que hay que hacer en su caso es editar la linea del monitor:

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
ModelName "Daewoo 710B"
DisplaySize 330 250
HorizSync 30.0 - 69.0
En la parte de HorizSync 30.0 - 69.0 ponga la informacion que viene en la parte de atraz del monitor, normalmente es 30.0 - 35.0 para configuraciones donde no se sabe la configuracion del monitor.
La otra es ver la configuracion de el monitor cuando a usted le funciona " El mandrake entre la lista de monitores si que tenía el mío y funcionaba bien." o sea copiar las lineas de la configuracion que funciona a la que no funciona y listo.
