my "Monitor" section from /etc/X11/xorg.conf looks like this:

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "Monitor0"
        VendorName   "Monitor Vendor"
        ModelName    "Sony CPD-E200/E200E"
        DisplaySize  330        240
        HorizSync    30.0 - 85.0
        VertRefresh  48.0 - 120.0
        Option      "dpms"

During the installation, FC2 found CPD E230 monitor, but to change from 85Hz
I have tried different SONY monitor types, that's why in the "MondelName"
appears "Sony CPD-E200/E200E" - and I don't know how to put back the name of
the monitor, wich FC2 found during the installation. But can I leave this
"Monitor" section as it is, just I must add the Modeline line:

Modeline "1024x768  111.18  1024  1072  1168  1376   768  769  772  808
+hsync +vsync"

just to be shure - is this correct?
