Musix GNU/Linux

Booting from the live DVD I get the message;

Cannot display this video mode

The max resolution my monitor can handle is 1280x1024. What is the default resolution of the Live DVD? How can I change it to suit my monitor?

Can nobody say the default resolution?

Hi

I have the same problem with an old nvidia video card. The DVD & USB only want start at 800x600... and i have a 1900x600 tft display.

The new xorg system recognizes the hardware on the fly and if this system cannot recognize the monitor defaults to 800x600.

If you have the technical information about your monitor you can make this steps.

- Start at default 800x600
- Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and put this parameters on Monitor section

HorizSync 28.0 - 96.0 <-- Sample Value!!! you must modify this according your hardware
VertRefresh 50.0 - 75.0 <-- Sample Value!!! you must modify this according your hardware

- Then save changes and restart X

Now you can choose a very large amount of resolutions... (i hope)

It is uncomfortable but is the only solution I have found

On USB this change is persistent... not on DVD...

Best regards...

Hola.

Para personalizar la resolución pueden probar a variar el cmdline cambiando el vga=791 por el que corresponda a la resolución que soporte su tarjeta:

800x600 1024x768 1152x864 1280x1024 1600x1200

8 bit -----> vga=771 vga=773 vga=353 vga=775 vga=796

16 bit ---> vga=788 vga=791 vga=355 vga=794 vga=798

24 bit ---> vga=789 vga=792 vga=795 vga=799


Saludos.
