Out of Range Frequency problem

[*tas]

Hi all,

Firstly, thanks for the release of pcbsd, I heard a lot of good things about it and I cant wait to use it. I am not a very experienced user and I have a small problem during the installation. I hope u could help me.

I am using an LG FLATRON LCD monitor (L1750SQ) and no matter what I choose from the 8 available selection in the Welcome Window I get an error from my monitor saying "OUT OF RANGE 33.5kHz / 87Hz".

I have connected another monitor to my pc and the installation was stuck in the image with the yellow flowers. :roll: but without frequency problems.

If anyone knows how to solve it pls let me know.

Thnx for your time.

I've had the exact same problem a month ago.
You'll have to kill kdm and X. Hit Ctrl-Alt-Backspace repeatedly. When you get the command line back, edit the X file:

ee /etc/X11/XF86Config

(if I'm not mistaken, depends if it's X.org or XFree86)

Then you change your refresh rate to the monitor's values. It should work then.
