[SOLVED] No display on different monitor

[vaikz]

Hi, I successfully installed linux mint 9 and at the same time update the system. Now that everything is running, I returned the pc to the owner, but when I power it on, no display. You can see the post but no display after that. And 1 more, I press the shift while loading grub2, nope nothing happens. And also tried booting the CD installer, same results.

I installed the system using an old 15" CRT monitor and the owner had a AOC 1619sw LCD monitor. I found this thread from ubuntu which I think was the same problem as mine, [ubuntu] Help! No display/keyboard on boot with differnet monitor - Ubuntu Forums, but no solutions yet.

I would guess that Ubuntu is identifying the wrong screen settings and setting an unplayable configuration. I have had that problem with one odd ball display, but it defaulted to a VGA setting so I could at least work on the problem. You might try the monitor and graphics card sites to see if they have an updated linux driver, but you would have to use a different monitor to get into the OS to update.

What you mean POST but no display after that? You don't see bootloader screen? Screen goes black when kernel loads?

Thanks for the replys guys. Sorry took me a long time to reply, quite busy for the past days.

It seems the problem was the video cable. When we try to swap it, it was able to load the grub and the system. It was also able to load the Cd installer.

I'll mark this as solve. Thanks again.
