I'm quite new with linux and I've installed RedHat 7.3, finally when the RH7.3 installation is at the end, you're suppose to setup your monitors "hsync kHz" and the "vsync Hz". I looked in my manufacurers manual for the monitor and there it says:
Scanning Frecuency (under the "Electrical Specifications")
Horizontal 30-72KHz (Automatically)
Vertical 47-160Hz (Automatically)
I set those values and tried all the possible resolutions (at the end of the setup) with all the color quality bits, 256 colors, 16 bits, and 32 bits. I selected login/boot up, in TEXT mode.
Once I've done this and login to root, type 'startx' and run linux desktop(or whatever, heh) a monitor error occurs:
Screen: "OUT OF RANGE". <- That probably means that I've set a too high resolution or something similar.. when I lower the Res the screen goes blank, it goes into 'sleep mode'.
What could the problem be? Please help me.. Thanks..!
I have ATi Rage 128 as video card and a Fujitsu Siemens MCM 171E/C776 monitor.
Edit: I accidently double posted this thread somehow...
