New User With Video Question Please
Hello,
I am BRAND new to Linux. I've just installed my first version of Ubuntu on a white box computer with a 19" monitor with little or no difficulty. What an AWESOME o/s!!!
My only question thus far is this: Before shutting down I went in and changed the resolution to 1024 x 768. Then I shut the pc down and swapped in a different monitor (15"). It made it about half way through the boot and then I got a message that said "Cannot Display This Video Mode".
The odd thing is that a few minutes later it completed the boot and everything looks fine. But on shut down the message comes up again. This same thing happens every time I shut down and start up again (I get the error message for a couple of minutes and then the boot resumes).
Have you guys heard about this? And if so is there a workaround? It's likely that I'll be installing this on many computers in the future, and that the monitor it's installed on is not the monitor it will eventually be working on. I would hate for all the users to have to put up with this every time they turn on their pc's.
Does anyone have any ideas I might try?
Thanks in advance. Aside from this, I am SUPER happy with Ubuntu!!!
