Yeah I had the same problem, except I couldn't even find out the
brand of monitor.  Just give it "generic" sort of values and it'll
be OK.  You won't get it as good as if you knew the exact values
but you won't damage the monitor either.  The values Dimitri gives
above are safe enough.

I've since bought a good 15" monitor which can do 1024x768 at 75Hz
or better, the difference is amazing.

Dave.
