Remote debugging--just say no. It can get really difficult to do this sort
of thing when one end doesn't have a good grasp on tech. But read on...

Are those accurate? LCDs may need higher ranges for these than the monitor
can actually do, because LCDs don't *have* Hsync and Vsync the way CRTs do.

Google says the Samsung 712N has a native resolution of 1280x1024. So edit
xorg.conf and add that Mode to the Modes line, then restart X.
