Thanks for the help. I'll write back if I face any
installation problems.

Hi everyone,
I am about to purchase a Samsung LCD monitor. The model is
730B. According to the manufacturer, it is compatible with
"PC/Windows, Macintosh, Sun Microsystems". I went to the
"supported hardware" pages of the Mandriva website but
couldn't find any helpful information on this. A google
search didn't turn out anything reliable. Does anybody know
if this monitor is compatible with Mandrake 10.0? Will I
need to install a driver?
I bought a Taxan, about 3 years ago, and had the same concerns. I rang
the manufacturers who replied to the effect that the monitor is
plug-and-play compliant, and should therefore work with any operating
system that understands pnp. It is always wrongly set up at install, but
all I have to do is run XFDrake and set it to Generic LCD 1024xwhatever,
and there is no further problem. No drivers, no anything. The only
difference would be if you have a monitor with built in hubs or such
extras, in which case they may need a bit more setting up, or may not work
at all, depending whether they use standard configurations. HTH
