suse 10.0 monitor problem

rooster33 · 10-17-2005, 07:48 PM

just installed suse 10.0. looked like everything went smoothly, but i'm having the exact same problem i had when i tried to install mandriva. the monitor gives me an error message saying that the resolution is out of range when it tries to go into the GUI. i need to know how to get to a configuration program or file so that i can change the settings. i know the horizontal and vert refresh rate, but need to input them. anyone have ideas? i want to see my GUI!

Hello!

Use instead a setup vesa resolution at x Hz.

ok, i'm a newbie here. where do i set that? should i just reinstall and configure it at the end of that? or can i go into failsafe mode and change it as root? help me out.

O.K.

Press CTRL+ALT+F1

Login as "root"
start sax2
change configuration
select monitor vesa at your desired resolution and frequency.

i have tried to do that from failsafe mode. the configuration program freezes up before it shows the current config. so i can't do anything with that program.
