i have setup ubuntu 10.04 on a pc and the install run fine using a 22 inch samsung lcd
however
the monitor it is usually plugged in to is a compaq s700 vga screen.
if i plug the samsung monitor back in to it and tell it to run at 1024x768 the lcd screen becomes unreadable and looks like the horizontal hold has failed.
with the compaq monitor plugged in the pc starts up and when it goet to displaying the login screen the monitor goes in to standby mode cos the screen resolution is too high
however
i can hit alt+f2 and get a command prompt up if this helps
also, the video is onboard.it is an intel chipset.
somehow i need to tell 10.04 to wind the screen resolution back, but i dont know how.
thanks
i just had a thought about this. i need to out fr a little while but heres my thought.
i can plug the pc back in to my lcd screen and see whats going on. then enable remote network login
swap monitors and log in via lan and change screen resolution
in theory, it sounds doable. will test this when i go home.
