Chairman’s weblog

Last friday I bought a new 24" monitor. There was some trouble getting it to work with the resolution 1920×1200 in ubuntu and nvidia drivers. So I thought I would post some of my settings in case anyone else have the same trouble. Just to clarify some of the setting. I have an old syncmaster 213T also in a dual screen setup. I'm runnung Ubuntu. I'm not sure if all these settings is really nessesary but at least it works!
