At the start of the installation screen press F2 (I think that's correct) and this will give you an option to set the resolution for the screen. This should be done during the initialization of the install process. If you're having problems after you've installed the OS and want to set this permanently I'll have to do a little background on this and get back - I'm in a rush right now and don't have time to look at it.
Yes, at the beginning of the install process, I ended up using F2 to change the value from 1280x1024 to 1024x768. The original value did not play nice wit the SynMaster 171S
Now that I've installed, I'd like to change the value again to something my monitor can handle. Are you saying I can do this change at the install screen as well without reinstalling?
On the file /boot/grub/menu.lst (or maybe /etc/lilo.conf if lilo instaled) at the line that look like this below: kernel (hd0,1)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 vga=0x31a change the value vga to the one you like from this table: Resoultion in pixel Color depth | 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024 -----------------+------------------------------------- 256 (8bit)| 769 771 773 775 32000 (15bit)| 784 787 790 793 65000 (16bit)| 785 788 791 794 16.7 Mill.(24bit)| 786 789 792 795 I change the value to 791 (1024x768) but the image with the progress bar didnt display. Only i can see the boot messages. But it changes my resolution.
Thanks for looking and replying. /Hans
