Jim,
On my Dell Lattitude Laptop which is my linux machine I chose the
generic SVGA monitor option, admitedly some of the fonts are difficult
to read from time to time, but most of it is fine.  I'm using LM 7.0
though and I guess it could make difference.  I've found the one screen
almost impossible to read are those with a white background and light
blue lettering.  If you figure it out other than the generic options I
hope to see the answer on the list.  It would help me too.
