moniter prob. - gus - 2005-10-30
hi all, why is it that everytime i try to install ubuntu on a dell{(even w/ live cd)at least with every dell i've tryed) as soon gnome starts the screen goes black (like power save mode) and i get a "out of frequency range message"???
thanks, gus

Is that a TFT/LCD monitor or a CRT?

CRT

Oh, I'm not entirely sure then. You see if the installer uses a resolution and/or refesh rate that is higher than a TFT's native, it will not appear with a similar message to that one. But a CRT... Do you know what resolution it is supposed to be using?

:) I don't think so, I think it might be to do with GNOME being set at either a too high resolution for the LCD screens or a too high refresh rate. I briefly tested an LCD screen on my PC, and the bootsplash was at 1280x1024, while this 15" TFT had a native res of 1024x768, so it said "Sync over range" until it got to X (I had already switched X's resolution to 1024x768@60, but had forgotten the bootsplash).

Does that make me less of a Linux noob? :)
