Hi all.
I bought a beautiful new Samsung 191T plus 19 inch TFT LCD monitor. It
has a resolution of 1280X1024 @75Hz. I'm running MDK 9.2. When I attach
the new monitor and reboot everything goes fine through the entire boot
process, then just as x starts to load (at least I think that's what's
happening) the screen goes black and I get a dialogue box saying
unusable signal. I don't see any way around this.
Is there some way to setup my system using my CRT monitor so that when I
attach my LCD monitor it will produce a "usable signal"? Or is there
some way with the LCD monitor connected to do some sort of configuration
of my system to make it usable? The monitor came with Linux setup
instructions but I'll admit I don't really understand them and if I
can't get a picture at all how can I configure anything?
Thanks for any insight you can provide

I had this same problem, and also have a 19" TFT LCD monitor. What was
strange was the solution. when you go to install 9.2 and you get to the
last screen where you configure your location for time, and your network
and all that? Well, you'll notice that it thinks its got your screen
all figured out. IT DOESN"T!! Its lieing to you. It has everything
right, but for whatever reason you have to go in there tell it "test"
also physically choose the same video card/monitor again. I don't know
why I had to do that. Maybe its just me. But once I did that it worked
first time, everytime. With 10 all I did was go there hit "test" and
*POOF* it worked.
