Q: HOWTO: identify the exact make of my monitor

[Jeremy Henty]

Firstly, hope you had a good Christma-Hanu-Rama-Ka-Dona-Kwanzaa[1].

I have a Gateway2000 Vivitron 17" monitor and I want to know the exact
make (so I can check the scan frequencies).  But I don't have any docs
(I  got it  from Freecycle)  and Google  turns up  specs  for multiple
different Gateway2000 Vivitron  monitors.  How do I know  which is the
right one?  Any monitor gurus around?

(ObLinuxConnection:  I see occasional  instabilities using  this thing
under X Windows and I suspect  that the Xorg server is pushing it near
or  outside its  supported frequency  range.  If  I can  find  out the
correct frequencies I can hack xorg.conf and see if it helps.)

Cheers, and thanks in advance,

Jeremy Henty
