Samsung 172N 1280*1024 not supported

Hello. I have a 17 inch Samsung SyncMaster 172N monitor. Looks very nice in windows XP, and playing games with such a resolutin is fantastic.

However, when I start Linux (I have Mepis).

When I run the Mepis System Center, there is not the model that I have. So I chosed the SyncMaster 191+, which has excactly the same vertical and horizontal frequency (56.0-75.0) and (30.0-81.0) respectively.

Anyway, I can't use this monitor with Linux at a resolution greater than 1024*768, the chekbox will not allow me to select greater resolutions

Any help will be appreciated, since I really want to have the full resolution with Linux as well

Regards

Xavier

Anybody else having this problem?

Can anybody please tell me how to enable 1280x1024 resolution in LCD monitors then?
