Title: HowTo: Monitor Configure
Description: This is a short howto about getting your monitor configuration right.

calculate modeline


You can use this site:
xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl
remember to enter actual values! Othervise you will screw up your monitor

for example: I have got for Samsung 950p at 1600x1200 the following result (which is manufacturers max setting for this monitor at this resolution):
Modeline "1600x1200@75" 245.66 1600 1632 2560 2592 1200 1223 1238 1261


edit


/etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "Modes"
Identifier "Modes[0]"

and enter your values as first in specific resolution. So mine is first at 1600x1200

For example this is mine:
Section "Modes"
Identifier "Modes[0]"
Modeline "1600x1200@75" 245.66 1600 1632 2560 2592 1200 1223 1238 1261
Modeline "1600x1200" 184.66 1600 1680 1856 2080 1200 1201 1204 1232
Modeline "1600x1024" 207.75 1600 1720 1896 2192 1024 1025 1028 1077

So first line is the result calculated by modeline calculator

restart X


this should work if you really entered manufacturer's values for your monitor at specific resolution.
