Out of Range

[ggogeta]

Hey!

I got the same problem... right before anaconda, the fedora core 9 installer loaded. I had to type "Linux VESA" at the boot menu. the installation worked, but it was ugly.

But now it hasn't fixed anything, everytime I try to boot linux, I get that "out of range" error.

Exactly: 81.3khz / 65Hz Out of range

Why in H*ll would this resolution/refresh rate be chosen by default?

Edit: I've got an Asus 8600GT as a video adapter. I have the same problem with the integrated Intel x3100 chipset graphic.

... And how do you fix it

Thanks!

Hi and Welcome !

Boot up in command line mode and edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf file manually. Set Refresh rates supported by your Monitor.

All I see that speaks about video is :

Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "intel"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
DefaultDepth 24
Subsection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection

but I do have a nvidia 8600 gt card which is default in BIOS, and on which I'm plugged right now.

How do I set those values?

thanks again!

Edit xorg.conf file and set driver to "vesa".

Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "vesa"
EndSection

vesa doesn't support 3D and you will have minimal Graphics.
You have to install Nvidia Driver. Install it through System -- Administration -- Hardware Drivers.

Well now I got a blank screen. Do I have to write "vesa" in caps or... ?

No. Its in lower case only. Reset it to "intel" and execute this

sudo lspci | grep -i vga

Post output here.

VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82G35 Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)


--> on which the screen is plugged in right now.

Which Card are planing to use? Intel or Nvidia? You have to set xorg.conf file according to Graphics Card only.

[ggogeta]

I plan on using the nvidia one. But the nvidia isn't in xorg.conf. So I guessed I could use the intel one in order to install the nvidia card.

[devils casper]

You can install nvidia driver easily. Use Driver "vesa" or "nv" in xorg.conf file and Nvidia Card will work fine. You will have minimal Graphics and that will be ok to install Nvidia driver.
