I'm buy new LCD monitor and connect it to D-SUB on my GeForce4 MX 440.
But X and Nvidia drivers recognize the monitor as CRT.
I don't have DVI input on my video card. And only one monitor connected to computer.
I'm try to define in xorg.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "nVidia Corporation"
BoardName "NV18 [GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x]"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP"
EndSection
But after that I see in the /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(II) NVIDIA(0): Using ConnectedMonitor string "DFP-0"
(WW) NVIDIA(0): Inappropriate ConnectedMonitor string.
(II) NVIDIA(0): Connected display device(s): CRT-0
(--) NVIDIA(0): CRT-0: maximum pixel clock: 350 MHz
How can I force LCD monitor detection?

NOTE: anything attached to a 15 pin VGA connector is regarded by the
driver as a CRT. "DFP" should only be used to refer to flatpanels

Thenk you.
I have no way to right recognize LCD monitor connected via D-SUB.

In any case, it shouldn't matter much. As that readme says, the only real use is if you have a KVM switch:
This may be useful, for example, if you
use a KVM (keyboard, video, mouse) switch and you are switched away
when X is started. In such a situation, the NVIDIA kernel module
cannot detect what display devices are connected, and the NVIDIA X
driver assumes you have a single CRT.
