Hi,
My Debian displays on an old 15" Cathodic MaCom Monitor.
I plan to change it for a budget 19" Samtron.
Obviously I have to modify the Horizontal sync and Vertical refresh hz in
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4
When do I do that? Before or after changing the monitor?
How long do I have before it fries if the Hz aren't ok?
Hints and Advice wanted and welcome!

This is how I would do it:
1. Log out (not shutdown)
2. Switch to a console (CTRL-ALT-F1), login as root and shutdown the
display manager (gdm, kdm, ...)
3. Change monitor
4. run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
5. switch to a different console (ALT-F2) and login as normal user
6. startx to test my new config
7. start display manager.
HTH
