and just another quick question.. Im installing linux on my new desktop and well i get almost to the desktop part but it stops and says that i need to be set on screen-resolution of 1600x1200 or something like that and the refresh rate at 60 ghz now i got the screen to go to 1600x1200 or whatever it said to have it at but the thing is how do i set the refresh rate at 60 ghz?

Thank you

What linux distro are you using?

Describe your system setup. Monitor and relevant pc specs. Do you have both onboard sound and a sound card?

I'm not a Ubuntu user but I do run debian so I'll give it a shot.

Re: Sound, can you think of anything you might have installed prior to loosing your sound?

Try this:

From the Command Line log in as root/sudo and run alsaconf to see if your sound card is recongnized and if so the default settings should work.

Then run alsamixer and verify that the Master vol is set, etc. and then test your sound (with fingers crossed).

Re: Monitor. The LCD refresh rates are not relevant. What is the status of this monitor meaning is it working at some other resolution or what?

well when i tried running alsaconf it didnt even do anything but when i ran the alsamixer i got the mixer showing it using my sound card and showing at the bottom 100/100 or what ever it says..

im not sure what your getting about on the monitor part tho :S
