I installed YDL with an old vga monitor on my LACIE firewire disk. It works fine with this monitor. But if I use my Sony SDM-HS74P, it turns black again. > > This HOWTO should help: > http://www.terrasoftsolutions.com/support/solutions/ydl_4.1/video_config.shtml How to do so? I use "alt", I chose Y, What do I have to make thereafter? Where is the point, on which this ,---- | CTRL-OPTION-F2 | (login as root) `---- is to happen? I do not know how to boot as root with YDL.
