# The Dell 24" widescreen LCD monitor 2405FPW is a real beauty. Getting it to work at its optimal resolution of 1920x1200 in Xorg on Linux is tricky but not impossible.
# In summary, you have to get the exact Vertical Refresh rate; force the nVidia card not to check what it thinks the monitor is capable of doing; and tell it which output type you are using.
# In addition, I have tweaked my fonts in X by setting the DPI size to 100.

# First, take a backup of your working configuration file:
> cp -a /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup

# Now edit the configuration file, adding these lines:
> nano -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf
