NoDDC is an option for the card (Intel 915 G). I'm not touching it, and it's not set, so why am I getting the message?
I get no success with VESA or LCD settings either.
Further thoughts?
Hi Bernd, I think the only problem is the hardware detection not working well with this combination. I assume you've already run the built-in self-test? Shut down the whole system, disconnect the display from the computer and power up the display. An OSD self-test will run and the results displayed. If it's OK, turn it off, reattach it to the computer, boot to run level 3 and configure it with SaX2 as tried previously, but enter the settings manually. The relevant specs are: Screen dimensions Diagonal 19 inches (480.0 mm) Horizontal 14.8 inches (376.32 mm) Vertical 11.8 inches (301.05 mm) Horizontal scan range 30 kHz to 82 kHz (automatic) Vertical scan range 56 Hz to 76 Hz (automatic) Optimal [best looking] preset resolution 1280 x 1024 at 60 Hz Highest [fastest supported] preset resolution 1280 x 1024 at 75 Hz Mode, H(kHz), V(Hz), Pixel Clock(MHz), Sync Polarity(H/V) VESA 1280 x 1024, 80.0 , 75.0 , 135.0, +/+ VESA 1280 x 1024, 64.0 , 60.0 , 108.0, +/+ I'd experiment with both of these, since "optimal" can really mean "acceptable" vis a vis text clarity, "ghosting" and color quality.
