Vista - Monitor (not just generic)?

I have the same monitors for my computers - XP Pro had no problems my monitor
shows as ASUS without loading any of the software.
Purchased another ASUS for this setup but Vista only shows as Generic
monitor.
Is it possible to enable the monitor as an ASUS with Vista beta? The screen
size selection is fine but just wondered if I could change from the generic
to make sure refresh rates are set for this.

I checked my ASUS disc but the software seems to be for the pivot things
which I don't require at this stage.

I'm not seeing drivers for Asus in this version of Vista. They'll probably
be available soon, though.

Thanks Bob

I was using sleep for Vista and had a slight blip when using my monitor next
day. It may have been a co-incidence but the monitor didn't power on. It came
out of sleep no problem it was after shut down and tried to boot next day.
Thankfully I have 2 ASUS and swapped the power supply to test - it worked and
when I put it back on the Vista computer the monitor was fine. I haven't used
Sleep again in case the conflict was due to the fact Vista only sees the
Generic.

Hopefully next release will have ASUS or at least the full release.

My monitor drivers are available but do not work with the graphics driver.
I'm stuck with non p-n-p which has to load on a boot with the monitor
disconnected. try not to feel too bad (;
