I recently set up a Sharp LL-T1820 w/o problems using SAX2. I guess you should try to use XFree86Setup and try to generate the config file using that program. I used it a while back on Redhat 5.x, and it wasn't that difficult but required you to know *exactly* what video card chipset you have. Pop the lid and take a peek just to be sure. I got the same message if I tried to run my monitor at > 1280 X 1024, the native resolution on my flat panel. I entered my vertical and horizontal refresh rates myself instead of using any default settings. Be sure to have these with you when you start. If you drive your tft at the wrong rates, you can hose it for sure. Good luck. I'm at work using 'doze' now; otherwise, I'd try jacking around w/ Sax2 and XFree86Setup for you... jason

Keith Powell <keith@keithg4jvx.force9.co.uk> 04/01/03 11:30AM >>> I have just changed from a CRT monitor to a new LG 15" TFT one.

Before I changed, I was running the old monitor at the same settings as the new one requires - 1024x768 at 75Hz. The new monitor works correctly both in Windows98 and Libranet. I didn't have to change anything in Libranet, the new one just worked. However, it doesn't work in SuSE8.1. I can boot and everything looks correct. When it gets to the part of the boot process where KDM starts, the screen goes black and I get an error message: INPUT SIGNAL OUT OF RANGE. Then, nothing else happens. Booting into text mode, to try to run the text mode version of Sax2 (to see if I could find anything wrong) goes well until the prompt. Typing "Sax2" makes the screen go black again with the same error message and then nothing. So I can't run Sax2 to check anything. As I said, the new settings are the same as the old ones. So I can't understand why it won't work in SuSE. I can't find any answer to this problem either in the manuals or in the list archives. Please can anyone give me some advice?
