[lubuntu] Monitor goes "Out of Range"

linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – I recently installed Ubuntu 10.4 onto an older computer. Upon trying to boot off the live CD, my monitor would go "out of range" (screen would turn black and display a hardware error message "out of range"). I was able to select the nomodeset option (F6 -> select nomodeset at boot options) to fix the issue temporarily, and then successfully install Ubuntu. However, I cannot get around the "monitor out of range" problem when booting Ubuntu from my HD. I have tried both adding "nomodeset" to the kernel options after "quite splash" (boo (Hardware)

Stories similar to [lubuntu] Monitor goes "Out of Range"

When I try Ubuntu without installing only "nomodeset" works, otherwise the display is just garbled.

Now I installed 12.10 on a partition, when I let it boot up it comes up with noveau failed to idle channel 2/3. I had to update grub manually and now there is no option for "safe mode".

Ok, so I know what your thinking, "why cant people just google and find out about nomodeset?", right?

Well I did find out about nomodeset, but I'm not sure I'm using it correctly.

bootloader(?) screwed up? 2 years 43 weeks ago

I have a dual boot setup with xp on one hd and ubuntu on a second hd. I recently upgraded to 10.04 and started getting the message on my monitor saying "input signal out of range". I searched on how to fix this and was advised to do this: " sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver -xorg " and this unfortunately screwed up my boot options and would no longer go into ubuntu.

I have tried everything; with no kernel boot parameters, it boots a black screen (as if the screen on my laptop was off) . With "nomodeset" and "acpi=off" it will boot an orange blinking hyphen . With "radeon.modeset=0" and "rdblacklist=radeon" it will boot to command line; X is unable to start .

Re: Getting to Recovery Mode 1 year 16 weeks ago

I have this problem but my keyboard is not wireless. My monitor gives me an "Out of Range" error and I am trying to get to recovery mode to fix it. Holding down shift during boot-up gives me Out of Range. Holding down CTRL during boot-up gives me Out of Range. Holding Space during boot-up gives me Out of Range.

Signal out of range 51 weeks 5 days ago

Hi! I'm facing the following problem.

Recently, by some reasons I changed my hardware from Intel 82865G to Intel 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics Controller.

And when I try to boot into Fedora15+Gnome3 (updated from F14 with preupgrade in graphic mode) even in single user mode or runlevel 3 (by editing corresponding "kernel-" line in grub.conf) I see the message "Sig

Hi guys,i am trying to set up Vim as my C++ IDE since 2 days and no success so far.I have installed Vim pacman -Q vim vim 7.3.661-1I have downloaded vim-latex and clang tar balls,extract and place appropriate directorys in ~/.vim e.g.

All works fine until I move the mouse cursor on the monitor to either the bottom of the screen or to the right of the screen. It then disappears from the monitor and re-appears onto my laptop screen. There is no way I can then get control back onto the monitor screen.

I can boot with ubuntu live cd only if I press F6 and select "Nomodeset" option.

Hence, I need to do the same thing with the flash drive, but when I press f6, I get no option of selecting "nomodeset" or any other option. Therefore, how do I select and enable "nomodeset" on the usb 2.0 flash drive?
