fisher Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 Hello everyone Please forgive me if I'm posting this in the wrong forum. I use Ubuntu on my desktop computer, and I want to try Mandriva. I have a Proview 19" LCD monitor and an ATI Radeon 9200 PRO graphics card. They both work well with Ubuntu. I have downloaded the Mandriva 2008 One KDE Live/Install CD ISO, and I have burned it to a CD. I booted up my computer from the burned CD, and Mandriva was booting up. Unfortunately, it didn't boot up completely. In the progress bar screen, which has the words "Press ESC for verbose mode", when the progress bar became full, the monitor became black and had this message: MESSAGE MODE NOT SUPPORTED H: 75.0 KHZ V: 60.0 HZ This same problem also happened when I tried PCLinuxOS 2007. However, this problem never happens with Ubuntu or its derivatives. Also, I have tried KNOPPIX and Puppy Linux on the same computer, and this problem didn't happen with them. My monitor still has the message, and I'm writing this post from my laptop. Please help me fix this problem. I will highly appreciate any help you give me.

fisher Posted December 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 Hello I read some other websites, and it seems this problem is happening because the One LiveCD is trying to set a resolution/refresh rate which my LCD monitor doesn't support. Is there any way to change the resolution/refresh rate from within the One LiveCD, so that the black screen and the message don't come? I will appreciate any help you can give me.
