Screen "Out of Range"
I know this has been asked several times, and I looked through them, but none of the answers help me. All the previous answers assume an ability to see the desktop.
I have moved my box to my workplace and the monitor here is older than the one I have at home and it doesn't like the settings I have for screen size / refresh rate. It will run through the boot-up, but when it gets to around the point where KDE would boot up, it blanks out and dispalys the message "Out of Range". I know what I would do, if I could see the desktop, but since I can't see anything on the desktop to change it, how do I go about changing it?
I have been successful in booting into failsafe mode and having access to my files, but other than that, I have no idea where to go or what to do from there.
I figure I need to change some config file somewhere, but don't know where to look or how to change it. I have zero access to any programs that I would normally use to change it. Save for possibly emacs.
A better solution for me would to be able to add some extra boot command that will affect it for that boot only, so I can use it when I want to bring my box to work. Kind of like a tag I run at boot-up, but I see no place where I would be able to enter it and boot it up.
I also have at my disposal a Knoppix CD so I can get to and edit certain files if I absolutlely need to, but still have no idea what file to change.
Thank you for your help.
