3.27. X Configuration — Monitor and Customization
In order to complete X configuration, you must configure your monitor and customize your X settings.
3.27.1. Configuring Your Monitor
If you chose to skip X configuration, go to Section 3.28.
Xconfigurator, the X Window System configuration tool, presents a list of monitors for you to choose
from. In the list, you can either use the monitor that is automatically detected for you, or choose
another monitor.
If your monitor does not appear on the list, select the most appropriate Generic model available. By
selecting a Generic monitor, Xconfigurator will suggest horizontal and vertical sync ranges. These
values are generally available in the documentation which accompanies your monitor, or from your
monitor's vendor or manufacturer; please check your documentation to make sure these values are set
correctly.
Note
If you are installing Red Hat Linux Advanced Server on a laptop with an LCD screen, you should
select the most appropriate Generic model available.
