Re: [gdm-list] GDM Display problems

Yan,

Thanks - I tried that as well as using the "auto" button on the front to get 
the monitor to sync. Neither one worked. 

The auto button does work when the boot messages are flying by. Usually, the 
first several characters are missing, but pressing auto will fix that 
problem.

Is there an X setting I can change for the display when the gdm window is 
displayed so the monitor will sync up? Is this even possible?

Thanks again!

Mark
