Hi
Ok, so it’s an external monitor(tv screen), maybe it (the monitor) won’t
support 1024x600 maybe only 768?

If it’s an external monitor, do you still have the cd that came with
it, when you run sax2, you can use this disk to add your monitor
(utility disk button). Some information on the external display would
help, manufacturer, model etc.

Also what is the output of the command;


xrandr
