    Hi Jochen

    Sux works great. I also replaced Sarge's xfconfig4
    with Knoppix and my monitor now perfectly configured.
    Finally, everything works fine with Sarge . I would
    like to thank for everyone who helped me in this
    installation saga. I've learned a lot during the
    process.

    Debian community is the best.
