Re: Unable to get X to start on new flat screen monitor using DVI
Hi, That's really odd about the kernel. The computer was working fine on an old CRT via VGA, and I just plugged my new flat screen in via dvi-d, and you can see start up, but X doesn't start. I'm upgrading to the 2.6.32-686 kernel, will that be new enough?

Unable to get X to start on new flat screen monitor using DVI
Hi, Got one of my old PC's lying around and I'm trying to get it to work with my nice new LG IPS225V flatscreen. It used to work fine with my CRT over VGA but although I can get a console up, I can't get X to start. I've listed the Xorg log out at the bottom of the e-mail I think it could be that the monitor is refusing anything other than 1900x1080 at 60Hz over which DVI, which my hardware hasn't a hope of driving. There doesn't appear to be any way of turning this down on the monitor.
