Monitor error "Out of scan range"

I installed linux using a 19" LCD monitor. I have a 15" crt at home but
when I boot all the monitor displays is "Out of scan range". How do I
adjust the screen resolution to match my home monitor? Tried booting to
failsafe and running sax2 but got same message and could not see gui.

Try launching sax from runlevel 3 with:

sax2 -l -r

or

sax2 --vesa 0:640x480@60

( amended post due to my terrible typing and putting the wrong values in
the above line, sorry )

Just to get it up then configure your monitor with the correct settings.
