Hello, I've got a new Centos5 install and got x installed with gnome on it. The problem is the display looks awful and keeps flickering. It failed the monitor probe and doesn't have horizontal and vertical refresh rates in the xorg.conf file. I believe this is part or all of the issue, i took it down to 8-bitt color and 800x600 resolution, that didn't help. The video card is an sis 741/760 AGP integrated job, the monitor has no designation, except compaq. Does anyone know how i can find the values i need?
Thanks. Dave.

I've had pretty good luck using the generic settings for my monitor (it's an Envision with a funky manufacturer's name on the serial number plate that isn't on the supported list), and even with generic video card support.
