I originally set up this monitor with an analogue lead. Everything seemed
fine, so I didn't check xorg.conf at all. Then I bought a digital lead, and
since then the monitor blinks. Running system-config-display identifies it
as a 1280 x 1084 CRT monitor. It is an LCD monitor.
That model is not on the drop-down list, so assuming that a specific driver
wasn't available for it, I tried telling system-config-display that it is a
generic LCD 1280 x 1024 monitor - restarted X, then went back to
system-config-display, where it showed up as a CRT monitor.
The refresh rate set was way outside the manufacturer's recommendations (1280
x 1024 @ 60Hz). so I tried manually setting refresh rates to match the
manual's recommendations. At the moment my xorg.conf has
