RE: [newbie] Graphics card/monitor not detected correctly
First, I would follow the advice from L.H. Loo. If that doesn't work, check out the specs I got from monitorworld.com. Model: TCM1764 Max Resolution: 1280 x 1024 Sync Type: Separate Sync H Freq/ V Freq: 30-64 Khz/47-104 Hz Tube Manufacturer: Not Available Monitor Type: Multisync/Multiscan Tube Model: Not Available Tube Size: 17" Connector: HD-15 http://www.monitorworld.com/Monitors/techmedia/TCM1764.html -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of L.

HTH Ok tried that... problem is that Windows doesn't even recognize my monitor! so all it prints is: Class: Monitors Device: (Unknown Monitor) No resources used. and thats it... heh... I already tried the setting 'monitor that will do 1024x768 at 70hz' and that didn't work either... I'm beginning to think that something else is up... when I try to choose a monitor setting (I don't know if it did this by typing "Xconfigurator" at the Command Line or not) I catch a brief glimpse of 10 or so lines, and the last one says "Device is busy" or something similar... is there any way to print out the results of that so I can post it here? for the record, here's my Video Card: Class: Display adapters Device: Revolution(tm) 3D (HawkEye, DirectX) Resources: IRQ: 11 I/O: 03B0h-03BBh I/O: 03C0h-03DFh I/O: D000h-D0FFh Then a ton of MEM's which I'm snipping for brevity I'm going to try the other ideas listed here later, but any more feedback would be *greatly* appreciated... I really want to try to become less attached to Windows if at all possible Thanks for all the help, guys Bill -- "Lazy is good when there's nothing to do.

That happened to me too, with both LM 7.0 and LM 7.1. At the first screen for setup, choose the "F1" key (for help) and then you will get a screen that allows you to choose a "Low Resolution Install" , or something to the effect, I cant remember the exact command--maybe it was typing "vglao". That gives a graphical install that worked for me! One of the options there is for text install, but I'll bet the low res graphical will work for you--I've had to use it on 3 systems. A fourth installed fine with the "normal res"--and it was identical (and I mean right down to the MB and processor--all the hardware). Damfino why. e.
