I just installed OpenSuse 11.0 (GNOME) and all went well.
When I restarted my computer, my monitor turned blank and a message appeared: “Monitor working, check scan rate. Check Resolution”.
I have a DELL monitor (don’t know the exact model) which supports 1280*1024 resolution and 70KHz refresh rate.
Please help me out here with a step by step procedure…
Actually, the screen Reads:
Monitor is Working
Out of Scan Range
Check Settings
What kind of monitor is it? (CRT, LCD). Do you know what graphics card is in the computer? I had a similar problem with an HP 22" LCD running off an NVIDIA card. I had to grab my son’s old CRT monitor and hook it up to see what was going on. I used that to install my NVIDIA drivers and set the screen resolution to a format my LCD could understand. Swapped monitors back and I was fine…
Its a CRT monitor.
The graphics card is ATi RADEON 9250.
I had ubuntu installed before this and it never messed up this big!
I was switching only because my computer’s obsolete by today’s standards.
I had the same problem with my LCD monitor, and pressing the “autoset” button on the monitor cleared that up.
I on the other hand don’t have an auto set button…
:sarcastic:
When grub pops up, did you try failsafe mode? This might get you to point where you can set up your graphics card, resolution etc.
I tried everything…
Nothing seemed to work…
BUT TODAY,
I’ve reinstalled OpenSuse! and its working now! lol!
I did try different resolutions but that didn’t work too!
