I have a bunch of questions about setting up my monitor
under Debian.

I originally set up Debian with a "generic" SVGA monitor.
Now I'd like to tell it that I have a Packard-Bell model
1020.  (Of course "Generic" may be about as good at this
old unit can get, but I'd like to give it a shot.)

Note, Knoppix didn't ask me anything about my monitor, and
it set me up with a similar resolution.

What do I run to get into the dialog about the monitor?

It seems to me that I was asked about various resolutions
and color depths, but Ctrl-Alt-+ does not change anything.

Is there some reference in which I could look up settings
based on the monitor type?

And how can I determine what my current resolution is?

Thanks, Vic

P.S. -- Here is the display portion of my config:
