It's an LG Flatron LCD monitor, the model number of which slips my mind and is written on the back in letters too small to read, even when I put on my glasses.
With the previous board, i used the display with 1280x1024. My fallible memory of the refresh rate is 72, but it could well have been 60 or something else. I don't attach much importance to the refresh rate (all the usual rates are well above the flicker threshold), but I would like a higher resolution, as I had with the now defunct board.
Some displays provide broken information to the driver via the EDID service. Try editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-monitor.conf so that it reads as follows, than restart X to see if that's all that's required: Section "Monitor" Identifier "Default Monitor" Option "PreferredMode" "1280x1024" EndSection If it doesn't work, provide us access to the resulting /var/log/Xorg.0.log so we can look for reasons why not. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
