These figures don't look like anything out of XF86Config. The best thing to collect is the output from xinit or startx when you start; it'll give you the exact information. > If anyone is using this monitor/knows the correct settings, or perhaps > another known problem (?), thanks in advance.. Well, you haven't told us the model of the monitor yet. Sony has made many of differing quality even at the same time. Check the panel on the rear, and see if you can find any corresponding information in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/Monitors. It's really important to do this; even if it's a cheap monitor, it could be a good one, and it would be a pity to ruin it. My cheapest monitor was a Nanao/Eizo 9500 (20"), at a time when they were rare as hen's teeth. I got it for free because the owner thought he couldn't use it.
