Re: [seul-edu] Fw: (FWD) Linux in schools



Emilio,
    At least on the Redhat distro, it helps to run SuperProbe and write down all the information on chipset, ramdac, and so on. Then run Xconfigurator and don't be too concerned with the left column showing the name of the video card. Instead, look in the right hand column for one that matches your chipset, and select that choice. Then select your monitor, and away you go. 
    I have no idea if this will help if you have a distro other than redhat.

I don't know if this made it to the list or not, but if not,
here it is.
