Hello
When I changed my graphics resolution to 1280x1024, which is native resolution for my monitor, and I know my hardware supports as Windows worked with the resolution
But it says input signal out of range
Is there a driver I can install for the graphics that could fix this problem ?
I'm using onboard ATI Rage XL graphics.
Thanks

If you're using Xvesa, it could be that you need to explicitly state a lower colour depth - does xsetup.sh give a choice for the 1280x1024 resolution?
You could also try Xorg-7.7 and xf86-video-ati.

Hi, thanks for your reply :)
I tried installing the mach64 driver (as it is old card) but ran out of space (i've only got a 32MB drive)
On windows , I can select 1280x1024x24
in xetup.sh, I had selected 1280x1024x24, I will try a lower colour depth
Thanks

I tried the lowest colour depth and it still says input signal out of range

You could try Xfbdev maybe?

I tried with
Tce-load -wi Xfbdev
Now after reboot it says Failed in waitforX and is at a command line
Is there anything else I need to do to install?
Thanks

I added vga=769 and it works but then i added vga=775 and i get signal out of range again...

It is picking a scan or clock rate that your display does not support.
Have you tried Xorg instead of Xvesa?

Is there any way to change the clock rate ? I have also tried different display and it has similar error (change resolution to/input signal out of range)
How would I install Xorg ?
I only have a 32MB disk.
-
You probably can't fit Xorg to a disk that small, I'm afraid.

OK, what about if I bought a 8GB USB flash drive - would I be able to install to that ? Does the speed of the USB drive matter ?
I need to install linux onto 70+ Thin clients (HP Compaq T5500)
Because the Windows CE 5 on them has no updates and doesn't support latest RDP protocol.
Because they have 128MB ram
Maybe it is a better idea to PXE boot a 60MB image of Tiny core linux ?
-
I PXE boot T5700s, but they have 1 or 2 G of RAM. 128M is slicing it pretty thin.

I installed Xorg and the driver for my graphics , but it still says input signal out of range
Also tried a different monitor.
Any ideas ?
-
Shooting in the dark, but check that the Xorg and driver extension names are listed in onboot.lst.

Thanks but they are already in there - also I installed debian onto a USB stick, and it says input signal out of range as well. During the boot process.

If the driver can't get a good modeline, as a last resort you can copy the one Windows uses. There is some advanced display config app thing for Windows whose name I forget, that can display modelines.

The windows is CE 5 .net
Would it still work ?

Sorry, I wouldn't know. If the screen is picky, you can connect it to a box running normal Windows, no?
-
Try another video cable.

The screen does not seem to be picky - I have tried with a few screens many of which can display tiny core linux at 1280x1024 from my laptop.. (nvidia quadro graphics)

According to this:
h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c00855360
Right click on the desktop and select Properties. Click on settings. That should give you the current resolution,
depth, and frequency.
