Just plug it in. If mandrake cannot identify the exact model, it should fall back to some reasonable default (such as standard SVGA). If you're not happy with the result, you can always edit /etc/X11/XF86Config (or maybe /etc/X11/xorg.conf, not sure if mandrake 9.2 uses xorg).
You would edit the Monitor section. As an example, this is the monitor section for an old 15" monitor I have:
Code:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
ModelName "Monitor Model"
HorizSync 31.5 - 57
VertRefresh 50 - 70
EndSection
(There might be a few other fields, but the important ones are HorizSync and VertRefresh.)
Assuming that
this is the monitor you're referring to, you want to change the HorizSync and VertRefresh and insert the relevant values (71KHz & 160Hz). That page doesn't specify lower limits but 31.5 and 60, respectively, would be reasonable. So, you might change those lines to
Quote:
HorizSync 31.5-71
VertRefresh 60-160

X should then select the most appropriate mode that falls within that range for each resolution you use.
