[opensuse] Monitor out of range for KDE4 LiveCD
Hi, Want to install opensuse 11.1 using the kde4 live. I downloaded the 32 Bit, LiveCD from http://software.opensuse.org/ The LiveCD do not manage my monitor Benq FP22W! I only see a black screen. The monitor says "Out of range". Tried different boot settings (such as screen=1680x1050) without success- Any advice on how to proceed ? My current settings are 1680x1050 WSXGA+, 16 bit color, 19 inch diagonal, 5/4 aspect ratio, Display size X axis=376 mm, Y axis=301 mm.

Well, 1680x1050 (16:10 ratio)(474x296 millimeters) is native resolution for many 22" . Try Ctrl-Alt-F1 to get to the console, then login as root; Login: root Password: <root password> Then run: # sax2 -r try to get to working display and post the result, good or bad. It would be also useful to know what graphic card is in your computer, and in case that above command fails Xorg.0.log and SaX2 log from /var/log/ directory. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Ctrl-Alt-F1 and sax2 -r (almost) solved the problem. I hade to issue init 3 first and init 5 when ready. Funny though since I did not have to change anything just accept the suggestion from sax2. Unlike suse 10.3 the monitor was even listed. Running a built-in nvidia GeForce 6150 on the Asus M2NPV-VM nForce 430 motherboard.

This time I forgot that 2 commands.

It is probably communication problem between components in automatic configuration. If you are comfortable with http://bugzilla.novell.com please file bug report and post link here. Instructions how to provide what developers may need are here: http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs:X It could be that it has nothing to do with X server itself, but logs can be helpful to determine where to look. Of course all files should be before you run 'sax2 -r'. You can save them in your home directory on 10.3 installation (if it is still alive :-) ).

It seems supported. I had no problems with GeForce 6100 on MSI MS-7207 board, which is very close in capabilities to 6150. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
