Bryce,

Thanks very much for keeping me in the loop, 
however I won't be able to help you any
further with this issue. You correctly identified 
the root cause to be lack of communication
from the Sony monitor when it was probed. I 
retired this old monitor and replaced it
with a much newer 1280 x 1024 Samsung monitor. When I reinitialized the video
Ubuntu 9.04 reconfigured properly.

Thanks again,
Bruce
