Hi, I've just found this via Google. I'm a newbee having installed Linux (Redhat 9) for the very first time an hour ago! I have problems with the same monitor SUN0567 -or- my VIDEO card configuration (I have a DELL Dimension 1100 that seems to use an "82865G Intel Graphics Controler"). Any clues please? The quality of the display is very poor and everything is magnified on the screen ... my first night with Linux nothing is probed correctly! Ibex
