acer AL17AL17,fedora 12: frequency not supported
 
My desk-pc has an acer AL17AL17. I've tried to install fedora 12 (windows XP works perfectly) and -just starting- it gave me the message: "frequency not supported". I suppose I have to change it, but I don't know what I should do. The installation began, I selected to do a new installation and then, suddenly, the message.
Should I change it in windows? Which frequency do I have to use?
Please, help me


--> On fedora 12: I'm going to install the "Long Term Supported" 6.0 version, as knudfl told me.
Anyway, now it doesn't give me that error. Please, if someone knows the reason, I would like to know the
answer. Thank you

frequency not supported is a message from your monitor?

If yes, does is shows the correct frequency to use?

Sounds like a refresh rate issue with a greater resolution than what is supported on your monitor.

@ vitorsgoncalves Thanks for answering. No, while I was trying to install fedora 12, I said the partition I wanted to use, and -although everything seemed to be ok- the message: "frequency not supported" appeared, 'dancing' all through the screen.
Today I've tried to install SC6, at first everything seemed ok. But later, the same message.

@corp769 Thanks for the answer. That sounds like 'you have nothing to do about it'.

Anyway, I'll try again later.

Just lower your resolution....
