Tools for configuring your mouse are distribution-specific.
Try mouseconfig, mouseadmin, or system-config-mouse to reconfigure your mouse
from the command line.
 Monitor??”The monitor section defines attributes of your monitor. There are generic
settings you can use if you don??™t exactly know the model of your monitor. Changing the
Horizontal Sync and Vertical Refresh rates without checking your monitor??™s technical
specifications is not recommended; you could damage the monitor. Here??™s an example
of an entry that will work on many LCD panels:
Section ???Monitor???
Identifier ???Monitor0???
VendorName ???Monitor Vendor???
ModelName ???LCD Panel 1024x768???
HorizSync 31.5 - 48.5
VertRefresh 40.0 - 70.0
EndSection
Here??™s an entry for a generic CRT monitor that will work on many CRTs:
Section ???Monitor???
Identifier ???Monitor0???
VendorName ???Monitor Vendor???
ModelName ???Generic Monitor, 1280x1024 @ 74 Hz???
HorizSync 31.5 - 79.0
VertRefresh 50.0 - 90.0
EndSection
If a tool is available to select your monitor model directly, that would be the best way to
go. For example, in Red Hat systems, you would run system-config-xfree86 to
change monitor settings.
 Video device??”The Device section is where you identify the driver to use with your
video device and any options to use with it.
