From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) Description of problem: I have a LG L1710S LCD Monitor. Anaconda detects it correctly but when starting the X server the monitor goes blank with "out of sync", seconds later the X server dies and Anaconda displays that he cant write to the display. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. put in CD and start computer 2. wait for anaconda to detect and start X 3. see output Actual Results: error out with "can't write to DISPLAY:1" Expected Results: X server with Anaconda in graphical mode Additional info: Anaconda detects the graphic card correctly (Intel 82845G [sees at i810 I think]). Problem is, X sync is set too high for the Monitor type, or set too big.
Please try booting with the options: linux resolution=800x600 and let me know if that helps.
I can't confirm that yet, but I tried Phoebe RedHat Beta and the installer starts fine without any problems.
I tried to boot with this option, but I still have no output.
Are you saying the installaer came up fine w/o the 800x600 option?

I have the same problem running the red hat 9.0 setup. The command "linux lowres" fix that, but when it finish the installation of packages I have to configure the video. The anaconda detected that I have "S3 Pro Savage KM166" but I have a "S3 Pro Savage DDR" I let the driver that the anaconda detected and the settings of resolution. Then when I clicked finish, and the system reboot and finish up loading everything, during the startx the monitor came out black with the message "Sync. out of range". I ran the red hat 9.0 setup again but a chose "S3 Savage (Generic)". Then I reboot the system and there was the same problem "Sync. out of range". I try for last with the same driver "S3 Savage (Generic)" but I change the resolution to 640x480 and the color depth to 256 colors (8bits). This solve the problem and finally I can see the GUI. The I try to change the resolution to 800x600 and I had the same problem Sync. out of range". I have tested too many times and always happens the same thing. Sorry for my bad english
