Surely this is unacceptable for a modern Linux distribution, considering that most PC's are now sold with a TFT screen.
This also happens with Windows when I forgot to switch to a safe mode resolution and frequency before setting up my new LCD monitor. Since my monitor is on the KVM switch, I had to SSH into my SuSE 9.1 Linux file server from my Windows machine to set the right resolution and frequency before the display could work. While it would be nice if the LCD monitor could broadcast it's safe or preferred video mode and the video card automatically re-adjust, it's more of a hardware problem than a Linux problem.
