I did a little surfing to come up with:

17" Trinitron flatscreen, 0.25 mm dot pitch
Maximum dot frequency: 140 MHz

Horizontal Frequency: 30 - 82 kHz
Vertical Frequency: 50 - 110 Hz

Supported Resolutions

640 x 480 up to 110 Hz
800 x 600 up to 110 Hz
832 x 624 up to 100 Hz
1024 x 768 up to 100 Hz
1152 x 870 up to 80 Hz
1280 x 1024 up to 76 Hz

That suggests that you start with:

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
ModelName "Monitor Model"
HorizSync 30.0 - 82.0
VertRefresh 50.0 - 110.0
EndSection

Also a 17" monitor with 0.25mm pitch probably has a "native" resolution
of 1024x768, so that would give you the sharpest image. Just because
the amplifiers can handle higher resolutions and frequencies doesn't
mean the tube is any good at displaying them.

Oh dear, I meant Nokia 447Xpro, that is four *FOUR* seven Xpro.

So, does anyone know what I should put on xorg.conf file
for ancient Nokia 447Xpro monitor?

If I use the values that are on 447Xpro manual, the
monitor says signal is out of range....

Well, start with

http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=%2B...o+%2Bfrequency

Then among the top links ...

http://press.nokia.com/PR/199806/778096_5.html has this to say about the
447Xpro/a (apparently 447Xpro with audio):

<-
the 447Xpro /a 17-inch monitor (15.8"viewable), an audio enhanced
version of its current 447Xpro display....
The 0.25mm aperture grill pitch displays excellent color output and
image detail.

.... so I'd still say that you have a 1024x768 monitor with electronics
that could drive a better tube, if you had a better tube, but you don't.

http://doc.delec.com/cgi-bin/hal.exe...Show;ID=286267
has this to say:

<-
- RESOLUTION:
- 1600X1200 AT 75 HZ
- 1280X1024 AT 90 HZ
- 1152X870 AT 110 HZ
- 1024X768 AT 120 HZ
- 800X600 AT 150 HZ
- 640X480 AT 150 HZ
....
- HORIZONTAL SCAN FREQUENCY: 30 TO 96 KHZ
- VERTICAL SCAN FREQUENCY: 50 TO 150 HZ
->

You could always put lower numbers in the HorizSync and VertRefresh
values than the amplifier maximums. For example, for my LCD monitor, I put
VertRefresh 60.0 - 60.0
so that the refresh rate is always 60 Hz (i.e., the optimal), even
though it can handle higher and lower frequencies and DDC reports that
frequency range. Try it with 75.0 for your monitor. See how 1024x768
looks.

Thanks.
