I'm certainly not surprised that newer versions provide new capabilities :) but a bit disappointed to find that this version can't re-probe the monitor -- at least not easily. (I did some grepping around in the code, and decided fairly quickly that there's good reason for non-gurus to stay out of it. I think I'll stick with command-line utilities and the kernel, which I have some hope of understanding.) > You really should update your installed ports to something more > recent.

As long as it ain't broke ... Instead, at some point I will get around to installing something much newer -- it would probably be 7.2 if I had time to pursue it in the near term -- on a different box, and once it is working well it may end up taking over this one's function.
