Maximum monitor support using Debian Live System

Hi

I've created Wheezy Live with LXDE, booting from an USB media according to this manual:

http://live.debian.net/manual/stable...manual.en.html

The problem is some monitors like Philips HWS92201 or Philips HWC8220Q are not supported, LXDE desktop will not start.

No errors, during the start of LXDE desktop, just a black screen.
Strange, no problems with other monitors or laptops.

AFAIK there is no "special requirement" for monitor support.

You may require non-free drivers for various video cards (and some may not even be supported) but the monitor type is irrelevant.

Are you sure those monitors (and the connecting cables) work?
