I cannot substitute an lcd monitor for my rgb one. As soon as suse 9.1 starts booting - before it actually gets to the full os - the lcd stops everything with the message that the refresh rate is too high. I have changed the refresh rate, the monitor specs [to the lcd] before I change [close down] but this interrupt occurs before suse sees the monitor specs. Looks like it is part of the suse start-up?
Are you talking about the installation, or of a system already installed? I'll assume the later. You should change to text mode (type a 3 at the boot prompt, or ctrl-alt-f1 afterwards). If the text mode doesn't work either, enter the parameter "vga=ask" at the boot prompt, and try till you find a mode that works. I think you can also play with some option in the grub boot menu - can't say exactly which, I'm not booting now ;-) - but I think you can choose at least resolution mode. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
