I have a question to ask. I purchased a cheap viewsonic monitor "Optiquest" Z50 and when I connect it to my pc with video card I get an "HV Frequency out of range" error message shortly after it boots to desktop. (using Mandrake)
If I switch PC towers and plug the same monitor onto the onboard intergrated built-in video card the monitor works just fine.
Can the video card be causing the "HV Frequency out of range" error message?
A monitor will display that message when the video card outputs a signal that the monitor can't handle - typically refresh rate or resolution too high. What should happen is that your monitor is queried for supported modes via DDC but that may not work in some situations.
Boot to failsafe, run /usr/sbin/XFdrake and change your monitor type to a Generic with a low refresh rate at your chosen resolution. Quit the application and run /usr/bin/reboot
If that works, you can try setting it back to autodetect.

Thanks for the tip, I had to go to "INIT" mode then type as you said "/ usr/sbin/XFdrake", then swithed moniotr to "generic" , resolution to "1280X1024 60HZ" refresh rate and that did the trick. Sorry I took so long to get back, I have been dealt with a plethora of issues unrelated to PC's that took me away from resolving this issue. I appreciate your help.....
