HD Install :: Monitor Issues

Quote

(which may be better for now anyways).

Except for laptop users, as Pidgin (incl Gaim) had an ugly bug until 2.02 (I think it was that ver) that kept checking X for screensaver support every 5 seconds, not letting the comp go into lower power modes..

Thanks for the help.

I tried as suggested and the resolution changes appropriately, but the colors are all distorted. I tried several different color settings as well.

- try the other xserver in xsetup (maybe you will need to set your video during boot, see cheatcodes)
- make sure you have set enough memory for your video in your BIOS, if applicable

I tried the other kind of xserver in xsetup and got some sort of message about "No response from X. 0 executions in 0 seconds" or something like that and I had to manually rerun Xsetup from the command line.

Where can I find these "cheatcodes"? How do you have a link to setting up the RAM in the bios?

1. See the wiki (or press F2/F3 on livecd prompt)
2. See your motherboard (or laptop) manual, if applicable.
