Subject: [newbie] LCD Monitor-Unusable signal
Hi all.
I bought a beautiful new Samsung 191T plus 19 inch TFT LCD monitor. It
has a resolution of 1280X1024 @75Hz. I'm running MDK 9.2. When I attach
the new monitor and reboot everything goes fine through the entire boot
process, then just as x starts to load (at least I think that's what's
happening) the screen goes black and I get a dialogue box saying
unusable signal. I don't see any way around this.
Is there some way to setup my system using my CRT monitor so that when I
attach my LCD monitor it will produce a "usable signal"? Or is there
some way with the LCD monitor connected to do some sort of configuration
of my system to make it usable? The monitor came with Linux setup
instructions but I'll admit I don't really understand them and if I
can't get a picture at all how can I configure anything?
Thanks for any insight you can provide

Put your CD1 into the drive and reboot, at the first screen choose F1 and then type in rescue, once the rescue screen comes up you should be able to change your screen resolution. Alternative is to put the CD1 in and at the first screen hit enter and then run through the upgrade side without choosing any new packages, when it gets to the end click on the button for your screen resolution and make sure it has found the correct monitor etc, if not change it.
