when I boot I get either a blank screen or a no signal screen where it should start the graphical interface.

I was on a 19" at 1280x1024. Now I'm on a 17" which also does 1280x1024. Finally, I would like to be on a 15" doing 1024x768 but it does not seem possible.

I use KDE Desktop Environment. VERY new user (English please on how to fix this).

Thanks alot!

Most likely, your framebuffer setting is too high for your video card to handle. In other words, 1280x1024 with 64K colors requires a lot more horsepower than 800x600 with 256 colors. Are you using lilo as your bootmanager? If so, go to the /etc directory, edit lilo.conf, and take a look at the section regarding the VESA framebuffer. Comment out the setting it's using now and uncomment a safe setting, such as "vga = normal" or a low res setting, such as "vga=771". Save your changes, and enter this command as the root user: /sbin/lilo ("lilo" can refer to both the configuration file - lilo.conf, or the executable program - lilo. Any changes you make to lilo.conf will not take effect until you rerun the lilo program, which is what the /sbin/lilo command does.) Reboot and you should be good to go. -- J.W.
