Change monitor in Linux/*BSD - NO problem.  Just edit XF86Config from the 
console and start X.  Works fine.  Takes 10 minutes - including time taken 
searching for the book with the monitor specs.  :-)

WinBlows -  *&%*^& !!  :-(
Probably not so bad if you are upgrading your monitor so that the existing 
settings are within those of the new monitor (don't know).  But changing from 
a 17" 85Hz to 14" 60Hz - YUK!  VGA mode doesn't allow any refresh rate 
change, and normal mode produces an unreadable screen, so I can't make any 
corrections to the display settings there either.  :-(

If anyone knows a nifty solution (registry?) I'd be grateful.

BTW - who was the twit who said they preferred XP??  MUST be mad!
