1. Get the manual of your LG monitor
2. Locate the section where it identifies the Horizontal (KHz) and Vertical (Hz) Refresh Rates
of your monitor
3. Run the redhat-config-xfree86 (of course, you must be root)
4. In the Advanced Tab, click on Configure
5. DON'T click Probe Monitor; Enter the appropriate value for the following:
a. Model Name (any, ex. LG Studioworks 900b);
b. Horizontal Sync Range (monitor specific, ex. 30.0-69.0)
c. Vertical Refresh Rate (monitor-specific, ex. 50.0-120.0)
6. Click ok.
You must restart you XWindow Server (NOT YOUR COMPUTER) for the setting to take
effect.
You may want to run redhat-config-xfree68 again, but this time to change your desired
(higher) resolution.
Please note that it is not the responsibility of the monitor alone to display your GUI in
higher resolution. You video card must also be capable of displaying more than 256 colors
(say 16Million colors) to be able to see more fine graphics.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
redhat 9 doesn't seem to have drivers for the 'LG Studioworks 900b'
monitor and is only giving resolutions to 1024 x 768 ? Any clues?
