    Linux video mode for Intel?

    Hi, I have Live CD linux Amnesia, it is based on Debian. When I try to boot Linux, always I get problem on monitor: "Input signal is out of range, Change settings to 1280x1024, 60Hz."

    I don't know what to do about it, I tried to change VGA mode (774, 775, 793, 794, 795, 829) but nothing helped.

    GPU: Intel (R) Q45/Q43 Express Chipset


    can anyone help?

    p.s. I can't link to screenshots, it is not allowed for new users to post URL.

    Hello and welcome!

    The "out of range" error usually means that you are using the wrong horizontal and/or vertical frequency settings. Check your monitor manual for the correct settings then add or edit them in your xorg.conf file.

    it is Live CD, I don't think I can change xorg.conf file. therefore I thought I can change VGA settings at linux boot. I suppose the best would be 1024x768.
