Hi!
1) The monitor I have is a Samsung 920NW with the following specs:

Display Screen Size 48cm (19)
Resolution 1440 x 900
Brightness 300cd/㎡
Contrast Ratio 700:1
Response time 5ms

2) It is connected by a VGA cable (15pin D-sub)

3) Make & model - Samsung 920NW

4) The monitor was attached when I ran the command "xrandr --verbose > xrandr.txt" in the 'terminal'. I did not get an output.
However, when I ran "xrandr --verbose" which gave me some results that is attached to this comment as "-desktop:~$ xrandr --verbose.txt". I then ran "xrandr.txt" but got "command not found". Please let me know if I need to do anything else.

5) This might be of help in troubleshooting and locating the problem.
I used Ubuntu 8.04.2 i386 Live CD and this monitor worked fine.
I used Ubuntu 8.10 Live CD and only got a black screen with white text.
I still installed Ubuntu 8.10 and the monitor worked fine initially, until the first reboot.
I later tried Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope Alpha 4 Live CD and the monitor was still in low-graphics mode. (Needless to say I did not install that)
However, Ubuntu 8.04.2 i386, Ubuntu 8.10 and Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope Alpha 4 Live CD works great with my Acer laptop 5920 that has a Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100.

Thanks
