no problems with monitors .. drivers are for the graphic cards .. xorg
can successfully probe any "recent" monitor and properly set the sync
.. so, if your graphics card works successfully on one monitor, it'll
work on any other

 I wish I could agree, but I have had ENDLESS trouble with flat panel
monitors. Since a flat panel has a native resolution, getting them right has
cause some pretty sour nights. Often, I wind up with "Signal out of range"

Right now, I've got one with a native resolution of 1400X1050. It looks
awful at 1280x1024, but the onboard video won't support 1400x1050. Anybody
have a suggestion for a board that plays nice with Kubuntu and supports this
resolution?
