I am using a nice TFT monitor from Dell (FP1901). After booting either from the live-CD or from the HD, when the X-Server (seems to) start I can only see the message: "unable to display this video mode". Then I switch to an old CRT monitor and after changing the video settings to 800x600 I can switch back to the TFT and work. Obviously either the default sync. frequencies or the color depth for the higher resolutions are beyond the capabilities of the flat panel monitor resp. graphic card and I cannot see where these settings are stored, because there is no XF86config file. Does anybody know how to change the frequency settings or whatever has to be changed so that I do not have to reinstall XFree86? Where is the display configuration file?Thanks a lot |
