Assuming the values you quoted are correct, something like this should
work in xorg.conf:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "HP"
ModelName "7500"
Option "DPMS"
HorizSync 30-70
VertRefresh 50-140
EndSection
and then further down:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultColorDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768" "1280x1024"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubSection
EndSection
It should be able to run at that ColorDepth assuming a reasonable
graphics card (or onboard graphics).
I think 1024x768 is more than enough for a 17" monitor. 1280x1024 is
more suited to a 19".
Disclaimer: The above shouldn't blow up your machine/monitor but it might do
and I can't be held responsible if it does...I'm just some idiot on a
mailing list ;)
