When configuring my X windows settings on the install I choose my video card (tnt2) and seleceted the resolution it usually runs on. When asked to tests this I pressed ok. My monitor turned off and refused to turn back on for 5 minutes so I just restarted my computer. Then the trouble began my monitor turned back on and was full of flashes of color like the fuzz you get whne you loose a cable connection on tv. It wouldn't even go to bios it just started when I turned on not giving me a chance to fix things. I have played around with my monitor plenty and don't really see a way to fix this since I cannot get to any options. I doubt its my hardware speaking it was working well with linux for the last year. As you could imagine I'm quite pissed at this event and any help as soon as you can would be good. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
