Re: [OCLUG] Another monitor
I was not referring to the general specs but the specifics I will need to enter into the monitor database so that I can set it up with sax after booting to linux 3. That way I can use both monitors easily. I have setup information in detail for the Futura but not eh Mag. IOW the setup I need to enter for the XF86Config file. Or the system by which the general generic monitor specs can be used to derive the information used in XF86Config. Sorry I forgot the name of the config file to clarify my question.

You can feed the windows .inf file for a monitor directly to YaST2. But you really don't need more data than horizontal and vertical frequencies. Philipp -- Philipp Thomas work: pthomas@suse.de SuSE Linux AG private: philipp.thomas@t-link.de

Philipp,
How do you feed the .inf file into YaST2? I have the file downloaded,
but I have yet to figure out how to load it. In the Sax2 configuration
that YaST2 call, there is an option for "Manufacturer Disk" which tries
to read the floppy drive. I have copied the file to a floppy, but I
still can't get it to read the files, and there is no way that I can see
to try to specify the file.

Is the file in the root directory of the diskette? I think that it has to be there. (This of course disqualifies many actual "Manufacturer Disks" -- or rather, many of those that aren't CD-ROMs.)

Yes it is in the root directory and it is the only file on the disk.
