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.
</p>
<p><a name="configureX_monitor-pa4"></a>It is
<span class="emphasis"><em>VERY IMPORTANT</em></span> 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.

<p><a name="configureX_monitor-pa10"></a>Selecting this
group will list approximately 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.
