My Philips monitor is not probing in Linux...

[wind2000]

i am newbie in linux...i am using a Philips 107E5 monitor (17 inch) and Nvidia GeForceFX 5200...

when the installation starts the monitor is not probed and start installation in the default mode...after the installation during the configuration i have selected the wrong Philips version and Philips 107E5 is not found...

when the linux boots the monitor seems out of frequency and says the error "Attention 91k/84 Hz Frequency is out of range". so i cant' be able to boot in linux and my system freezes...How can i come back to the default settings... I am now dual booting with FC4 and Windows XP using Grub...)

I have installed installed Fedora Core 3 before and my monitor is probed and everything is ok... Can anyone pls help...

Try hitting CTRL+ALT+[num pad plus] or CTRL+ALT+[num pad minus] when you boot and the monitor complains about your frequency range. You should cycle through the different settings until your monitor is happy with some of them.

If a monitor cannot be probed and detected on install, there is usually a provision to enter your horizontal and vertical freqs manually. You could use that, or you can make an edit to the two lines in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file that set your monitor's allowed frequencies.

According to a google, it seems that your specs are

Horizontal scanning  30 - 71 KHz

Vertical scanning  50 - 160 Hz

Work just fine with my 107B4.

I guess there are differences.
