I have no video card. I'm using on-board video which is intel based. lspci gives: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) I have no GUI tool to configure the monitor other than the one that sets the resolution.

I have been reading various threads on the subject. Such as: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17713 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23082 But no clear fix is presented but it has been marked as resolved.

Yes, I got your first message. There seems to be a bit of a delay with this list or perhaps it is moderation.
