Hi - I am running FC6 at home and have had my monitor recognised as generic
which leaves noticeable "streaky" lines on the screen. I think I can resolve
this by inputting the correct vertical and horizontal refresh rates for my
monitor which I know, however the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file does not have any
monitor section, no refresh rates no modelines etc

Is there anywhere else I can enter these vertical/horizontal values or is
there a way to regenerate the xorg.conf file with a monitor section

Thanks for any suggestion
Simon

Migth try something like this:

Section "Monitor"
### Comment all HorizSync and VertSync values to use DDC:
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
ModelName "Philips Magnavox 109S"
DisplaySize 340 250
### Comment all HorizSync and VertSync values to use DDC:
HorizSync 30.0 - 95.0
VertRefresh 50.0 - 160.0
Option "dpms"
EndSection

there's such a thing as 1 and 4 bit display depths?
The 15 bit one is pretty weird too...
