Dea All;

I'm trying to install red_Hat Linux on my desktop.
While i'm installing it, and in the phase when Linux is detecting the
hardware specifications, my monitor shows an error messege (input
signal is out of range), and i had to stop the installation by
restarting the PC.

although that, when Linux is detecting the hardware specifications, he
detecds also the monitor, he writes down its mark.

does anyone have an idea about how to solve this problem, knowing that
my monitor type is LG FLATRON LCD 1515S.

Thanks

Hany

Not really but one might have some idea, if you tell us at least
which version of RH you are installing and what kind of system
you are using? Did you try using text mode to install?

Already outdated/discontinued, I'd suggest fedora if you want RH
or some other recent distro, with support/patches.

You didn't told which kind of system you are using (CPU/mobo).

Perhaps, but it's you who is in front of the system, not me.

Hi,

At the beginning of the installation process you are asked to nominate
graphic or text installation.

At this stage there is a third option - 640x480 installation (F3).

When I did a RH9 installation I found that the installation process
couldn't provide a suitable video output for hires graphic or text
mode (as shown in the log). I was forced to use the lowres
installation path and later adjust the video parameters through
hardware setup for a higher resolution display.

Note:-
I had previously run KNOPPIX (3.2?) on this system and it had worked
reasonably well so it was just a RH9 installation issue.

(Note ASUS TUSL-M all in one motherboard, 256 MB shared RAM)

As Michael Heiming stated RH9 is past the end of support and has been
replaced by the Fedora project (at Fedora 2, soon to be 3)

With regard to RH9, its age is showing with a number of packages
needing refreshing to deal with newer hardware.

For RH9 support try <http://www.fedoralegacy.org/>
