It does not really make any difference but I have found a different Linux distribution, one of the ones that I mentioned in my first post, that actually finds and configures my monitor. It has done so for years. It finds it as a 'Generic' monitor but all of the settings are made correctly. Automatically. In their 'Display Setup' I can find my monitor by manufacturer name and model along with a more complete listing of the exact settings.
I keep wondering why o don't switch. Masochist i guess. :-(

Many of us don't switch because of this mail list ... Expert help is invaluable.
Perhaps.
There is an excellent list for the distro that I am considering. And *no* it is *not* Ubuntu or any of it's off shoots,
I see much good help here mostly. But the 'other list' seldom offers 'try this it work' suggestions since most of the answers are from the actual developers and package maintainers. They follow their one list closely.
Good luck with your problem. IMHO? Reindl Harald's is the best suggestion so far. However you need to have the knowledge to write your own init script for you system's video to use his suggestion.
