failed to boot due to wrong monitor resolution

[phsieh2005]

Dear Linux experts:

Original Suse 10.1 was installed using DVI. I had to switched to another monitor with only Analog input. Now, the system failed to boot with a message saying that resolution was out of range. How can I fix this type of problem?

Thanks!

When you say failed to boot. You mean a complete failure or you end up in a text console asking you to login????

If you can log in you can fix it by logging in as root and running

sax2

This should allow you to set the new resolution.

Dear gogalthorp:

Thanks for the reply!

When the system was booting up, Grub started, then, went to suse 10.1 screen, then, I got a screen: "out of range signal. Cannot display this video mode. Change computer display input to 1920x1200@60Hz". Then, stopped.

I then, in Grub, pressed e, then, <space> 3 to boot into root. I typed sax2, then, got the same message as above.

Try this
[code]
sax2 -m 0=vesa[code]
Or
Edit xorg.conf file manually.

nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
