I affirm that this can be done relatively easy. The trick is knowing what video hardware you have, and if an older monitor, the refresh rates. Make sure you can start X before you turn on GDM or KDM. The Handbook talks about this. My preferred method is to use xf86config, but you need to know about your hardware. An alternate method talked about in the Handbook is to use "XFree86 -configure", but you need to hand "tune" the configuration afterwards to get what you want. David
