<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">I just purchased a new
Samsung 913v 19" LCD monitor.<br>
Under FC-1, I disconnected my old monitor (Compaq 21" tube) and plugged
in the new monitor and it worked, but complained that the resolution
was not optimum. I decided this was the perfect time to upgrade to
FC-4. So with the Samsung attached, I went thought the install,
choosing the default - gnome.<br>
<br>
Now when I boot, when it switches modes, I get a blank white screen,
and never see anything else. If I press CTRL-ALT-F1, I get a screen
with a bunch of boxes on it, and I can't see a thing. Believing that
their must be a login prompt there, I login as root. The screen
changes to text mode, and I can see most of the text that should be on
the screen, but somehow I can't see everything. Like, if I do an 'ls
-l' I can see everything but the file names :)<br>
<br>
If I run system-config-display, it immediately blanks the screen (all
white) and I can't see a thing again!.<br>
If I press CTRL-ALT-F2, I can login even thought the screen is full of
colored boxes like before with CTRL-ALT-F1.<br>
<br>
OK, so, how do I configure the system for my monitor?<br>
Sure, I could hook up my old tube, configure things and then switch
back, but, surely there is a way without switching monitors around -
right???<br>
<br>
Thanks for the help!<br>
