Is there a linux command that would tell me what model of monitor is presently attached to my computer? Thought about automating different setups based on the monitor connected. X config files basically.
Could be done with different kickstart files - but would like to not go there if I dont have to.

yum did not find xresprobe, tried downoading source and compiling that went no-where also.
I see the monitor type being printed when anaconda is installing. How can I execute the same command it does so I can get the monitor information?
Thanks,

Wouldn't kudzu do that? Can't test it as I'm not near a Linux machine right now. -p will only probe and print to the screen (as you can also use kudzu to configurehardware according to the man pages).

I tried that (since I happen to be "near" a Linux PC :-) and it showed me everything except the monitor.
