When I got this message: on my monitor (Philips 150S): "Cannot display this video mode. Change computer input to 1024x...@60hz." on a black screen, I just edited one line in the file /boot/grub/menu.lst :
From: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-7-generic root=UUID=93c481f7-14b5-4336-85ce-be54327fb066 ro quiet splash To: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-7-generic root=UUID=93c481f7-14b5-4336-85ce-be54327fb066 ro vga=773 Save the file, and reboot. You'll now see all the kernel messages scroll by. Nice. On other monitors the vga mode may be different, i.e. 791. You can find the relevant numbers here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VESA_BIOS_Extensions#Linux_video_mode_numbers Scroll down to "Linux video mode numbers" almost at the bottom of that page and try out the relevant numbers. Problem gone. -- cannot display this video mode https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/197681 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
