Comment 1 Stefan Sonnenberg-Carstens 2004-05-06 09:29:40 UTC
Solution found.
When the system is installed,
the lines for hor. and vert. frequency of the monitor
are commented out, to enable DDC.
The monitor in use here, a ViewSonic PF775, doesn't seem
to like that.
I throw away the pounds before that lines, added
appropriate mode line, and it works.
Re-Enabling DDC causes the same effect as described earlier.
