    I have an Averatec 6100HS and i'm looking for technical information about the display. Specifically, the horitzontal and vertical sync range.

    I'm not really sure what your looking for or trying to get. LCD displays like are in notebooks don't have a horizontal or vertical sync range because the don't have H or V sync at all, that is something that only analog CRT monitors have.

    While it's true the LCD display doesn't use V & H values, the radeon chipset may still make use of these settings (but I'm not sure since the Radeon also has builtin support for LCD panels). The following information is from the Radeon driver used for X Windows display on an Averatec 6120HS - and if you want more information on the specific flat panel, it can be found at the Samsung website (http://www.samsung.com/Products/TFTLCD/NotePC/LTN154X1/LTN154X1.htm)
