Right you are! Although IMO the problem is not with LTSP and is not restricted to monitors. Even the most recent Linux distros have problems recognising ANY old hardware. But then again that's why we all chose Linux for: the sport, the challenge and the remuneration of puzzling and fiddling until things work the way we want them to.

That's the place to be. But you'll have to admit that the first contacts with XF86Config, its sync rates and its mode lines are pretty frightening ones. I gracefully bow for everyone who successfully edits that config file blindfoldedly and without consulting its man pages. > I > found a > killer website that lists hundreds of models with specs.

I obtained the necessary details for a Yakumo PS1448 from 1994. I bookmarked the URL immediately. Thank you a zillion times for the ultimate reference to monitor details. -------------------------------------------- Wouter DeBacker ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) 18-Dec-01 23:23:53 (SuSE Linux Xfmail) Teachers are each in a class by themselves. -------------------------------------------- _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
