Why is this filed against desktop-backgrounds?
After changing the monitor type, the video settings were able to be changed. The original monitor type was Generic CRT with the highest display settings. The monitor is not on the list (AMW CM1997PF 19") and is capable of the settings. The monitor type was changed to a monitor on the list and the video settings held.
Monitor selection is done in first boot. If we can't probe your monitor - paste the output of running as root kudzu -p -b ddc then you need to select it. then you have to select the monitor in the first boot screen. If the monitor does not probe and is not in our monitor list feel free to attach a INF file from the manufacturer supplied driver disks for windows and we'll get it added
Output of kudzu -p -b ddc class: VIDEO bus: DDC detached: 0 driver: unknown desc: "NVidia Corporation NV11 Board" mem: 32768 I was unable to find a drivers disk for the monitor, here is a link to the site for the specs. http://www.a-mw.com/products/crt/cm1997pf.htm
As we don't have access to the inf file from the site and being unable to probe the monitor, I'm closing this. If you find the CD-ROM with the driver inf file feel free to re-open and attach the inf file. s-c-display and firstboot should allow you to change monitor, etc and make changes to the monitor and not the card. My reading of comment #2 is that this is working.
