[mythtv-users] X settings for new monitor

I have finally selected a new monitor (Samsung F2380)for my MythTV box. Now 
I have to swap it in but I'm rusty on what to do with X - whether to set 
values explicitly or take them out and get lucky with plug-and-play. I'm 
trying to avoid experimenting and maybe someone has a monitor like this.

This is what I have now (17" IBM CRT):

Section "Monitor"
        ### Comment all HorizSync and VertSync values to use DDC:
        Identifier   "Monitor0"
        VendorName   "Monitor Vendor"
        ModelName    "IBM E74M"
        DisplaySize  320        240
        HorizSync    30.0 - 71.0
        VertRefresh  50.0 - 160.0
        Option      "UseEdidDpi" "FALSE"
        Option      "DPI" "100 x 100"
EndSection

And this is what I _think_ I need. Or maybe less. Can I use DDC, or Edid?

Section "Monitor"
       ### Comment all HorizSync and VertSync values to use DDC:
       Identifier   "Monitor0"
       VendorName   "Samsung"
       ModelName    "F2380"
#      DisplaySize  320        240
       HorizSync    31.0 - 81.0
       VertRefresh  56.0 - 75.0
#      Option       "UseEdidDpi" "FALSE"
#      Option       "DPI" "100 x 100"
EndSection


Thanks!
