configuring an X Server on HP-UX Monitor section The configuration file may have multiple Monitor sections. The Monitor section provides information about the specifications of the monitor, monitor-specific Options, and information about the video modes to use with the monitor. There must be at least one Monitor section, for the monitor being used. A Monitor section is considered "active" if it is referenced by an active Screen section. Monitor sections have the following format: Section "Monitor" Identifier "MonitorID" VendorName "Vname" ModelName "Mname" HorizSync horizsync-range VertRefresh vertrefresh-range DisplaySize width height Gamma [gamma-value|{red-gamma green-gamma blue-gamma}] EndSection The Identifier entry specifies the unique name for this monitor. The VendorName is an optional entry and specifies the monitor's manufacturer. The ModelName is an optional entry that specifies the monitor model. HorizSync gives the range(s) of horizontal sync frequencies supported by the monitor. horizsync-range may be a comma separated list of either discrete values or ranges of values. A range of values is two values separated by a dash. By default the values are in units of kHz. They may be specified in MHz or Hz if MHz or Hz is added to the end of the line. The data given here is used by the X Server to determine if video modes are within the specifications of the monitor. This information should be available in the monitor's handbook. If this entry is omitted, a default range of 28-33 kHz is used. VertRefresh gives the range(s) of vertical refresh frequencies supported by the monitor. vertrefresh-range may be a comma separated list of either discrete values or ranges of values. A range of values is two values separated by a dash. By default the values are in units of Hz. They may be specified in MHz or kHz if MHz or kHz is added to the end of the line. The data given here is used by the X Server to determine if video modes are within the specifications of the monitor. This information should be available in the monitor's handbook. If this entry is omitted, a default range of 43-72Hz is used. DisplaySize is an optional entry giving the width and height, in millimeters, of the picture area of the monitor. If given these values are used to calculate the horizontal and vertical pitch (DPI) of the screen. Gamma is an optional entry that can be used to specify the gamma correction for the monitor. It may be specified as either a single value or as three separate rgb values. The values should be in the range 0.1 to 10.0, and the default is 1.0. Not all drivers are capable of using this information. 4-14 Graphics Administration Guide

Graphics Administration Guide
configuring an X Server on HP-UX
Monitor section
The configuration file may have multiple
Monitor
sections. The Monitor section provides
information about the specifications of the monitor, monitor-specific Options, and information
about the video modes to use with the monitor. There must be at least one Monitor section, for
the monitor being used. A Monitor section is considered “active” if it is referenced by an active
Screen section. Monitor sections have the following format:
Section “Monitor”
Identifier
“MonitorID”
VendorName
“Vname”
ModelName
“Mname”
HorizSync
horizsync-range
VertRefresh
vertrefresh-range
DisplaySize
width
height
Gamma
[gamma-value|{red-gamma green-gamma blue-gamma}]
EndSection
The
Identifier
entry specifies the unique name for this monitor.
The
VendorName
is an optional entry and specifies the monitor's manufacturer.
The
ModelName
is an optional entry that specifies the monitor model.
HorizSync
gives the range(s) of horizontal sync frequencies supported by the monitor.
horizsync-range
may be a comma separated list of either discrete values or ranges of values. A
range of values is two values separated by a dash. By default the values are in units of kHz. They
may be specified in MHz or Hz if
MHz
or
Hz
is added to the end of the line. The data given here
is used by the X Server to determine if video modes are within the specifications of the monitor.
This information should be available in the monitor's handbook. If this entry is omitted, a default
range of 28-33 kHz is used.
VertRefresh
gives the range(s) of vertical refresh frequencies supported by the monitor.
vertrefresh-range
may be a comma separated list of either discrete values or ranges of values. A
range of values is two values separated by a dash. By default the values are in units of Hz. They
may be specified in MHz or kHz if MHz or kHz is added to the end of the line. The data given
here is used by the X Server to determine if video modes are within the specifications of the
monitor. This information should be available in the monitor's handbook. If this entry is omitted,
a default range of 43-72Hz is used.
DisplaySize
is an optional entry giving the width and height, in millimeters, of the picture area of
the monitor. If given these values are used to calculate the horizontal and vertical pitch (DPI) of
the screen.
Gamma
is an optional entry that can be used to specify the gamma correction for the monitor. It
may be specified as either a single value or as three separate rgb values. The values should be in
the range 0.1 to 10.0, and the default is 1.0. Not all drivers are capable of using this information.
