I don't see a "check" button anywhere.
Do you mean "detect" in the "choose screen" dialog
of "screens and graphics preferences"?

Yes and no.  I run Ubuntu 7.10.  "Detect" did not detect my current 
monitor model and reverted to "Generic / plug & play", but that still 
found the best resolution (interestingly Windows XP running on the same 
hardware can't).

The Sony CPD-G420 is listed in the Sony models in Ubuntu 7.10.

   Horizontal range:       30.0 - 110.0.
   Vertical refresh rate:  48.0 - 170.0.

Try selecting the model (Cpd-g420) from the list of Sony models
and DON'T click "detect".
