Bug Description
I Installed Kubuntu 6.10 on a system with a Samsung SyncMaster 214T flatpanel display, and found that this particular display was not auto-detected.
Launching System Settings, selecting "Monitor & Display", then "Hardware" I did not find this particular display in the list either, and it couldn't be auto-detected (that's consistent at least). "Detect monitor" gives me a "Plug'n'play" display which gives me a 65 Hz refresh - which causes the 214T to complain every time it is turned on, because this is not the optimal refresh rate. It wants 60 Hz. I finally selected in the list under "Generic" a "Flat panel 1600x1200" and now it's working nicely.
By the way I notice that the SyncMaster 244T too is missing in the selection list of displays. Maybe the list is just a bit old?
Thanks for your bug report. Could you please add your '/var/log/ Xorg.0. log' file and the output of 'sudo xresprobe videodriver' where videodriver is the driver you use for your video card? (For example radeon or fglrx.) Thanks in advance.
