[Fedora-livecd-list] Setting video resolution on boot up

[Brian Levine]

I am attempting to run the Fedora Core LiveCD received with Fedora 6 and RHEL 
Bible book by wiley. I am assuming it is the same build although there is not 
much on the content of the CD to indicate which build or version. 

The problem I am having (tested on 2 different intel desktops, older Dell 4100 
dimension and newer Lenovo 3000J) is that after the initial boot my monitor 
displays "Mode not supported H:68.8KHZ V:85.1HZ" and the display never comes 
back. I used the same monitor on both machines. The monitor is a MAG innovision 
Model #900P flatscreen. 

It seems the liveCD display refresh rate defaults to 85HZ. 

Has anyone come up with a workaround yet? 


I've been able to successully run the LiveCD on my Dell Lattitude laptop but I'm really trying to get a permanent install going on the above mentioned Dell Dimension tower. Please help, i don't want to have to haul my old CRT up from the basement and lose half my desk. 

Sincerely,
Brian
