LCD panel says: Sync out of Range
Knoppix 3.3 boots part way, but when it switches to X the screen goes blank, and my Viewsonic 18" LCD monitor displays a message "Sync out of Range". This message comes from the monitor itself. Video card is Matrox G550.
The text dispayed at bootup looks like it detected the video card and monitor capabilities correctly (max 1280x1024, etc) and Knoppix boots completely but at the point it loads xwindows it goes blank and that's when the monitor displays "Synch out of Range". Ctl-Alt-Del and Enter shuts down. I've tried specifying the Xhrefresh=70 and xvrefresh=60 at bootup with same result. What now?

Try vsync= and hsync= I believe those are the cheat codes for LCD screens. You may also want to try fb1240x1024 vsync= to use the framebuffer and rate.
Out of range during boot!
I too have a similar problem with my NEC MultiSync LCD 1545V, but its a bit diffrent.. unfortunately I lose video signal during the boot (command line text) BEFORE it even gets to the GUI,
as soon as X windows starts my monitor starts picking up a signal, and I get through the whole session without issue.. untill it's time to shutdown..
I quit the X window session, time for more command line.. WHoomf, out of range again. and i cant see a thing....
So can I fix this? Gnoppix doesnt seem to have an issue. I'm really excited to install this on my HD, but if this keeps up after its installed theres no way I'm gonna keep it.
help!
