To all:
The discussion concerning getting a monitor firmware code correct brings
up an interesting question:
I just ran lspci on my system (under root privileges) and got quite a
long list:
How do I assure that the CPU and drivers for the controllers are
correctly matched to the hardware?
Or do we naively assume that whatever (insert your favorite linux flavor
here) will get it right? Do we have to do some manual intervention here?
