These may include driver-specific options or driver-independent options. The former are described in the driver-specific documentation. Some of the latter are described above in the section about the Screen section, and they may also be included here. However, options set in the Display subsection may be "overridden" in the Screen section. "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 ìMonitorî Identifier ìMonitorIDî VendorName ìVnameî ModelName ìMnameî HorizSync horizsync-range VertRefresh vertrefresh-range DisplaySize width height Gamma [gamma-value|{red-gamma green-gamma blue-gamma}] GammaAllLayers [on | true | 1] EndSection The Identifier entry specifies the unique name for this monitor. The VendorName is an optional entry and is used to specify the monitor's manufacturer. This ModelName is an optional entry that is used to specify 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. 49

Option flags may be specified in the
Display
subsections. These may
include driver-specific options or driver-independent options. The former
are described in the driver-specific documentation. Some of the latter are
described above in the section about the

section, and they may
also be included here. However, options set in the
Display
subsection
may be “overridden” in the
Screen
section.
“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 ìMonitorî
Identifier
ìMonitorIDî
VendorName ìVnameî
ModelName
ìMnameî
HorizSync
horizsync-range
VertRefresh
vertrefresh-range
DisplaySize
width
height
Gamma
[gamma-value|{red-gamma green-gamma blue-gamma}]
GammaAllLayers [on | true | 1]
EndSection
The
Identifier
entry specifies the unique name for this monitor.
The
VendorName
is an optional entry and is used to specify the
monitor's manufacturer.
This
ModelName
is an optional entry that is used to specify 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.
