Don, I don't know what xwindows utility Debian uses....sax2 maybe? Whatever
it is needs to be run after the system comes up....use init 3 and will
be konsole. Run
the utility so that the system can sense the monitor and it's refresh
rates. Once that's
done, she should get the best video her card and monitor combo. can give
her.
