You will need to go find the book on your monitor if you still have it to
set this up, but you can also just let the utility probe it for info.
It's better than when Leo did his demo several months ago.   In fact when I
set up my Mandrake box I used the settings for the monitor in the Xfree86
setup section, but I found out that on my second install I didn't need to
enter this info.   I just let the installer probe the video card and
monitor and all was fine.
