Knoppix 3.4 doesn't boot with old moniter...
Hi all,
I've installed Knoppix 3.4 and Win Xp on my machine. It worked well with my previous moniter (Samsung). I changed my moniter (an old moniter -Phillips). Now my Knoppix installation doesen't boot to X(moniter goes blank when starting X11). I think the refresh rate doesn't match with this moniter. Could anyone tell me how to change the refresh rate. thanks, cya Randika K |
try changing the boot settings from lilo/grub or whatever you use. one thing you could try is
Code:
runlevel = 3 |
Easiest IMHO would be to boot the knoppix CD using a cheatcode like vsync=60 and copy over the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file to your hdinstall after making a backup of the original.
EDIT: 60 Hz is quite low and is required for really old monitors only so first you might try booting knoppix without any specific monitor cheatcodes to see if it gets DDC probed correctly. |
thanks...
I used the following cheat code...
>> knoppix vsync=60 hsync=37.8 [ this setting is for the PHILIPS 104B 14'' moniter] Now my Knoppix is working well Thanks for you all. cya Randika K |
