Monitor blacks out after booting from grub
I have a MAG 510v2 monitor with an nvidia geforce 2 video card. I have installed Fedora and when I triy to boot from Grub then monitor like resyncs or something. It will make a click and the monitor goes black and never resets. I have to manually reboot or just shut down.
If I add init3 to the boot line so it would be Code:
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb init 3 and then I can login to root...but that is the only way for me to boot past grub. Hoping for some useful suggestions... .: Any advice is better than no advice at this point. |
is your XF86Config file correct? I would double check all monitor values in that file to make sure they are correct. -=] Vid Card too for that matter.
pico /etc/X11/XF86Config after booting into run level 3. |
XF86ConFig
Code:
Section "Monitor" These are what my monitor settings are in my XF86ConFig... I haven't made any changes to them because I am really insure what to change or add if anything.. .::newbie: |
Hmm this is that it says in the manual.
HorizSync 30-54 VertRefresh 50-100 BUT Its close enough that i can say this probally isnt the issue. Paste your entire XF86Config use the quote vbb tags to make it easy to read. |
.: UPDATE:.
Came to the conclusion that it was not the settings but the monitor itself because it is so old..so I plugged in a 18' LCD and it works like a charm. Thanks for you time and help jOntar |
I had a similar problem with both of my monitors. I reseated my video card and all is well.
