Help : Monitor Issues
Posted: Wed Apr 01, 2009 5:07 pm
Hi,
I'm having problems with the fedora default display settings. My monitor is asking for 1280 x 1024 optimum.
I have no idea what fedora has defaulted to but it detected my Nvid gt6600.
To add to this problem ive googled and my samsung 913n monitor will refuse to come out of this mode until
i pull the plug, eg i cant even see post display after the OCD asks for the above res. i have to unplug and wait
30 secs.
Im not afraid of the command line but im very new to linux, having said that ive managed to do the following:-
press i
press e to edit vmlinux line etc
removed the rhgb
result = booted to x and monitor gave no probs, but when i presume reached the GUI the monitor requests 1280 again.
I then used the '3' option at end of vmlinux line and logged in as root.
I carried out the hda-install and that went ok. I was then asked to reboot.
Im now back to my original problem.
Any commands / edits i can do to change the default display ?
Nice and easy steps much appriecated.
Thanks
