It looks like you need to use the "fbset" program
to set up your monitor scan lines etc. for your
monitor. Apparently, the scan line values for the
default linux kernel don't fit with your monitor...
This is quite strange... Anyone else have any ideas
as to why the default vga16 fb driver isn't working
on his system? dmesg shows that it's coming up properly.
The "Out of Scan Range" error message is being
shown by the monitor itself...
Ah - I'll bet that your monitor isn't multi-sync
capable. That means that it can't handle the switch
to the 640x480 standard vga mode?
Regards,
Greg

Hi all,
I tried the "brain dead" VGA16 mode as Greg suggested
and everything worked fine.....until I ran "mdemo"
from the microwin/src/bin/ directory. The whole
monitor just went blank and couple of seconds later
out popped a message (generated my the monitor)
saying:
Out of Scan Range
Well...I'm attaching a few files which might hold
clues as to why my PC refuses to do what I want it to
do!
1) .config: generated by Menuconfig (only included a
small portion of the file)
2) config: Microwindows config file (only included a
small portion of the file)
3) dmesg.txt: what I got when I typed dmesg
4) lilo.conf: Below:
oot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
linear
default=dos
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=linux
read-only
root=/dev/hda5
image=/boot/vmlinuz.old
label=linux_old
read-only
root=/dev/hda5
other=/dev/hda1
label=dos
Please let me know if you find anything suspicious in
the files.
Thanks!
Supriyo
