<para revision="1" xml:id="configureX_monitor-pa1">DrakX has a very comprehensive database of monitors and will usually
correctly identify yours.</para>
<warning>
<para revision="1" xml:id="configureX_monitor-pa1w"><emphasis>Selecting a monitor with different characteristics could damage
your monitor or video hardware. Please don't try something without knowing
what you are doing.</emphasis> If in doubt you should consult your monitor
documentation</para>

<para revision="1"
xml:id="configureX_monitor-pa2"><emphasis>Custom</emphasis></para>
<para revision="1" xml:id="configureX_monitor-pa3">This option allows you to set two critical parameters, the vertical refresh
rate and the horizontal sync rate. Vertical refresh determines how often the
screen is refreshed and horizontal sync is the rate at which scan lines are
displayed.</para>
<para revision="1" xml:id="configureX_monitor-pa4">It is <emphasis>VERY IMPORTANT</emphasis> that you do not specify a monitor
type with a sync range that is beyond the capabilities of your monitor: you
may damage your monitor. If in doubt, choose a conservative setting and
consult your monitor documentation.</para>
<para revision="1" xml:id="configureX_monitor-pa5"><emphasis>Plug 'n Play</emphasis></para>
<para revision="1" xml:id="configureX_monitor-pa6">This is the default option and tries to determine the monitor type from the
monitor database.</para>
<para revision="1"
xml:id="configureX_monitor-pa7"><emphasis>Vendor</emphasis></para>
<para revision="1" xml:id="configureX_monitor-pa8">If the installer has not correctly detected your monitor and you know which
one you have, you can select it from the tree by selecting: <itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>vendor</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>the monitor manufacturers name</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>the monitor description</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist></para>
<para revision="1"
xml:id="configureX_monitor-pa9"><emphasis>Generic</emphasis></para>
<para revision="1" xml:id="configureX_monitor-pa10">selecting this group displays nearly 30 display configurations such as
1024x768 @ 60Hz and includes Flat panel displays as used in laptops. This is
often a good monitor selection group if you need to use the Vesa card driver
when your video hardware cannot be determined automatically. Once again it
may be wise to be conservative in your selections.</para>
