Get behind your monitor and look for serial numbers, part numbers, FCC id's
etc.
Then go to: http://driverguide.com/
There is/are search facilities there which _should_ point you in the right
direction.
You can also boot to your non-GUI console (At lilo prompt, type 'linux 3'
(without the quotes)) and run 'Xconfigurator' (again no quotes') and from
there try various monitor types, starting with the 'High Frequency SVGA'
and so on until you find something which fits.
But try the link above first - there are further links to sites where
monitor specs are listed.
Cheers
