X problems

[Lance Earl]

The Monitor section of XF86Config includes
 Identifier   "Monitor0"
 VendorName   "Monitor Vendor"
 Model Name   "Monitor Model"
 HorizSync    31.0 -70.0
 VertRefresh  55.0 - 120.0

My Monitor is a NEC FE700+ so these settings seem to be correct. I see
taht the refresh rates are not in quotes like the other items, is this
correct?

I forgot to mention that during install, after running the xconfig setup
and saving the files, it said that the setup appeared to have failed and
gave me a chance to try again. I tried several times but with the same
result.

I am running Version 4.8 but thought that I may try version 5.1 to see if
I get a better result.

Thanks
