Current state of play ... D2500HN board is configured with a dodge cable so it does not detect the monitor resolution. I have a newly downloaded and burnt Live disk just to eliminate that, and I have it running in live mode. I need another hard disk to install onto as the disk is currently configured for W7/Mach3 for a customer. The test bed has a pair of 1920x1200 24" monitors and booting with one of these plugged in gives a graphics mode that can't be displayed and you can't do anything. I've hooked it up with the 17" monitor on the target Denford Orac with a similar result, but as long as the monitor is not auto-detected, it has come up in 1280x1024 and is currently working. Being a long time SUSE user/developer, I am more used to that. It will not work at all on the board, but I have yet to try the 'dumb monitor' trick again. There are not enough hours in the day to try everything out when what you expect to work just fails. Now of cause I have to work out how my normal activity maps to Ubuntu functions ... -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
