How to configure my display card?

[{MaX}]

My video card supports maximum resolution of 1024x768 at 60HZ refresh rate. YOPER doesn't seem to aknowledge that and sets it to something else. When I boot up in YOPER after the install, my monitor goes "Out of Frequency" and all I get is a warning and a blank screen.

How do I configure YOPER to use 1024x768 screen resolution at a refresh rate of 60HZ while installing? Or, after the install, how and which files do I editin order to make it work?

Second problem. I've installed LiLo. Now I can't boot into Ubuntu. Here's Ubuntu's menu.lst. Please tell me how to add it to the LiLo bootloader's list (I don't know anything about LiLo as I'm used to GRUB) :

title  Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.10-5-386
root  (hd0,2)
kernel  /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10-5-386 root=/dev/hda3 ro quiet splash
initrd  /boot/initrd.img-2.6.10-5-386
savedefault
boot

Once you boot, open up a terminal, then do:

su
[rootpass]
sax2

and use the sax2 utility to configure your card and screen settings

My monitor says "OUT OF FREQUENCY" when I boot up and switches itself off. So I can't see anything. Will pressing Alt+fx bring me to a virtual console (with the monitor working)?

And what about LiLo?

I need help >>>FAST>>>. My internrt connection expires today and I can't renew it until next week.

You can launch sax2 from the VT @ F(number)

For lilo edit /etc/lilo.conf and add a stanza like this:

#stanza for ubuntu
image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10-5-386
label = ubuntu
root = /dev/hda3

that should work

What about the boot parameters (ro, quiet. splash)? And the initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.10-5-386 ?

Sorry I don't know how to get the splash etc to work with lilo, though what I said will let you boot it.... just less eyecandy

I don't want eye candy. But the ro boot parameter is required because then Ubuntu doesn't boot up properly.

Any way I can install GRUB instead of LiLo?

[dylunio]

Ah, reading around the net make the stanza look like:

#stanza for ubuntu
image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10-5-386
label = ubuntu
root = /dev/hda3
read-only

You might want to have a look at this site if you want to change lilo more.

Remember to run

/sbin/lilo

once you have made the changes

I've installed GRUB instead of LiLo now. I've got another problem. Pressing Ctrl+Alt+Fx doesn't work! I can only switch between the first and the last virtual consoles! The first one contains the terminal output that took place on bootup, and the last one has the GUI, which won't work!

Now what?

[dylunio]

Why don't you use the first terminal? If it hasn't reached a login prompt Ctrl+C should hopefully bring one up...
