Attempting to load without install. Cannot see the gui. Can see console.
With graphic safe mode on screen flickers, can only see console.
Tried various different vga modes(vga=771 etc), have tried modes that work for my monitor as tested in XP (1024x768x32 etc). Can see them briefly when I ^F7 it, then screen says unsupported.
Tried:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorgbut it just gives me a newline, I'm guessing because it's just running in CD mode.
Can't run it in full install mode because I have a hdd issue (that I am trying to fix with the install disk).
Monitor refresh rate is 60 but I don't know if you can specify this in the boot args. I don't own any other monitors, it's a samsung lcd tv. Painful issue.
Any other args I should try? Anyone had a similar issue?
