I just tried something totally new. I picked up an old crt monitor and
booted a live CD and it completed the boot AND had a display output at
[EMAIL PROTECTED] THEN, while it was still up and running, I unplugged the
CRT monitor and plugged in the flat panel monitor, and it switched on !
I have lift off. but this re-inforces the problem, why is the flat panel
monitor switching off and displaying an input out of range signal error
if the display output is valid when connected to a crt when booting ? IS
it possible that during the probing of the video hardware that a bad
signal was sent resulting in flat panel protection shutting it off ? I
have no room to keep a CRT monitor around my workstation strictly for
the purpose of installing an OS when I have a perfectly functional flat
panel that preforms just fine with other older Ubuntu and ubuntu derived
distros. My flat panel displays the [EMAIL PROTECTED] perfectly fine with
other distros, why is this issue limited to only the newer ubuntu 6.04
and on distros ? Last note: I tried this method on all the other
computers that had the same result and this method worked on all of
them, so it is not a computer or video card problem(because they vary
greatly), it is restricted to just the flat panel display. The FP is a
dell 2007, brand new. however I had the very same problem with my older
dell FP1701 display that was 5 years old also, and that was why I bought
a new display device, to eliminate the possibility that it was my
hardware, this shows to me that it is not my hardware, it is a software
issue from ubnuntu 6.04 and on. Ubuntu 5.10 did not have this issue.
