Debian LiveCD

[RandomUsr]

I was attempting to boot from SymphonyOS (Based on Deb) and I recieve an error from my Monitor that Screen resolution is too high. The Error continues to inform me that I should attempt resolution @ 1024x768@60hz. I have found no way to change this when booting to SymphonyOS. F1 brings up help which displays about four commands and the option to boot Memtest86+, anyone aware for and argument or option that can be passed to the boot loader to change the default Resolution.

Your help is much appreciated.

You should try to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change HorzSync and VertSync (or something like that) and the res should be there also but since you are using a livecd maybe the settings won't be saved

Thanks man, I'll try that out. Also I know that in Knoppix you can change the default while booting. Wonder if that's possible with Deb.

Further, what kind of support does Debian have for ATI X1300 PCIe. That's the card. While booting, I get a funky screen after X loads, then The Logon Screen appears like normal. When the GUI is being loaded, that's when I get a white screen with nothing visible.

Any further Thoughts?

Thanks Again

Try to install propietary drivers for your card with a package called fglrx you can download from ATI website, but remember that nvidia is your friend in the open source world

Hey man, I appreciate all the input, this isn't an urgent issue, but I'll attempt to add the proper drivers at some point before i burn the image again. I'll let you know how it goes in the coming weeks. Thanks again man.
