I got myself a new tft monitor, it works well in graphics mode (runlevel 5), but when I startup the system or try to switch to a console (tty1 or tty2), the monitor displays a 'out of range' message on a black screen. I can setup the monitor in yast for runlevel 5, but where do I setup the monitor for text mode?
Thanks for your help

Youhave to add a vga=your value in /boot/grub/menu.lst This is what I have and what works with a Samsung syncmaster 172v: kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 vga=792 selinux=0 resume=/dev/hda1 splash=silent showopts # vga=xxx sets the framebuffer console to a specific resolution. # Here is a table you can use so it can help you decide # what resolution you want to use: # colour 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.
