I just retired my Viewsonic 19" CRT in favor of a Viewsonic VX2433WM.
Looking in Xorg.0.log it's obviously recognized (as the following lines
indicate):
(II) RADEON(0): Serial No: R4F100901594
(II) RADEON(0): Ranges: V min: 50 V max: 75 Hz, H min: 24 H max: 82
kHz, PixClock max 210 MHz
(II) RADEON(0): Monitor name: VX2433wm
However in Gnome's Display Preferences dialog, the monitor type shows
up as "Unknown". What can be done about this?
Additionally, a box saying "Unknown" (black text on cyan background)
appears on my screen at the upper left corner. This wouldn't matter
except that I like my Gnome panel at the top of the screen and the box
blocks the Main Menu icon. The box appears to be a repeat of the Gnome
Display Preferences dialog's "Unknown" monitor info. How can one nuke
the box?
Hm. I see the same annoying box at the top left, but only while I have
the Display preferences dialog open. When I close the dialog, the top-
left box disappears.
Do you still have a process running named gnome-display-properties even
after you close the Display preferences dialog box?
