Hi Im having problems with my new screen, where at boot time i get a message "out of scan range
37.1KHz 50HZ"
And only when KDE has started and i get the login screen the piccture shows. I cant even go into BIOS cause i dont see anything until its booted. What can i do about this? I had problems with my old screen also like when i shutdown via the kmenu the screen switches off and doesnt come back on. i had to type "shutdown -h now". Also if i change the resolution with SAX when i get to the test window the screen switches off and now {crtl alt del} or {ctrl alt bs} helps. Anyone knows how to resolve this?
Thanx
I suppose you have a TFT screen edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add vga=792 (that's what I have) ###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: linux### title SUSE LINUX 9.3 kernel (hd0,1)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 vga=792 selinux=0 splash=silent resume=/dev/hda1 showopts it depends on your resolution and colour depth.
