Monitor Frequency problem when starting with SuSE Live CD

limboonlee · 05-11-2005, 03:16 AM

I download and burn the image of SuSE 9.2 Live CD into a cdrom and boot up using the cd. The Live CD can be loaded (from the sound of constant reading from the cdrom and hdd), but the monitor shows frequency 84Hz....blar blar....... seems to be out of range or something like this.

I am using Sharp LCD monitor.

What should I do? to get the Live CD to display properly on the LCD?

Thanks

I am not familar with LiveCD's, but you may be able to set the resolution in the boot menu. Type vga=<value> when the initial menu appears.

Code:

    | 640x480  800x600  1024x768 1280x1024
----+-------------------------------------
256 |  0x301    0x303    0x305    0x307   
32k |  0x310    0x313    0x316    0x319   
64k |  0x311    0x314    0x317    0x31A   
16M |  0x312    0x315    0x318    0x31B

The problem now is that it does not display anything in the monitor at all.
It is like in window, where you set the monitor range to be outside of what the monitor can support, there will be a message "out of range" flashing on the monitor and nothing can be seen.

I know, but this is usually because you request a resolution that is not supported by the monitor. Try a lower resolution and we will see...
