Out of Frequency Range Error

[[Ryan]]

I've done a fresh install of Debian 4.0 amd64 after having to put up with Vista for a few months, and on the system's first boot, I got an error saying that it was out of frequency. This error did not come from one monitor, but three different ones. I'm no expert with the command line, so I wasn't sure exactly how I'd go about configuring it. I'm running a Asus A8M-VM CSM motherboard with integrated Gforce 6150 video. I'd be sincerely greatful if someone could point me in the right direction, because I'm really not willing to go back to Windows. Thanks in advance.

Hi and Welcome !

check your Monitor's Manual and note down supported HorizSync and VertRefresh rates. when Monitor throw that error, press Alt+Ctrl+F1. this will drop you at command line mode. log in and execute this

su
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

accept default options and enter correct HorizSync, VertRefresh rates. reboot machine.

Worked like a charm. I saw these same instructions for another version of Linux but I wasn't sure if I was to follow those since I wasn't running it. Thanks a lot for the help Casper.
