Make:   TOSHIBA
Model#:  26AV502U
120V   ~60HZ


I had found an xorg.conf file previously generated before and I copied
the Monitor Section parts

Section "Monitor"
Identifier   "Monitor0"
VendorName   "TSB"
ModelName    "TOSHIBA-TV"
HorizSync    31.0 - 49.0
VertRefresh  59.0 - 72.0
Option      "DPMS"
EndSection


 and it did not work :(

I even thought about cd'd to /usr/ports/x11-drivers and compiling
nouveau or nvidia to see if it would work?, but I guess just swap the
monitors with another machine that I have at home and be happy :? :)
or :(
