Dell 27" xorg conf

Hello, I can not get xorg configure to see my Dell 27" Ultra sharp monitor.
Every other Linux OS, Ubuntu, Slackware etc , see it, how do I get xorg in Arch to see it ?

Thanks,
Rodney

Did you do the obligatory reading? Your concise post seems to suggest you did not . Nor do you mention what you tried.

Re: Dell 27" xorg conf

I have read the wiki

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg

Over and over, I printed all 76 pages.

I have tried hal, I've put in manually to xorg.conf my refresh details.

When I tried Arch last year with the same PC and monitor setup, Arch and/or Xorg found my monitor automatically no problem as every other Linux OS I have tried.

I wonder why Arch/Xorg wont see my monitor now ?

What graphics card do you have? Did you install the drivers?
