Re: Two ubuntus, one doesn't display

My CRT monitor recently went kapoot so I replaced it with a flat panel
LCD version.

Previously, both UBUNTUs,(6.06 and 6.10) that I have installed displayed
properly but now with the LCD monitor, the 6.10 version produces a
notice "out of frequency" on the screen and nothing else. There doesn't
seem to be any way to bring up a normal display to adjust its settings.
The monitor adjustment screen also is not accessible. I also have a
bootable UBUNTU DVD that does display properly and I can access the two
other UBUNTUs.

I suspect that the version that shows that notice has screen settings
set to some frequency that's not acceptable by the LCD monitor.

However, if I press Ctrl, Alt and F1, the screen does display a command
request in terminal mode. I suspect that if I could enter the proper
commands, I could change the screen settings to something that would be
acceptable to the monitor.

Short of simply removing the UBUNTU that doesn't display, what can I do
to restore it?

Tip: Running the Xconfig command in the terminal will allow you to
change the available resolutions.

Appearently, your current resolution or refresh rate is set too high for
your LCD.
To fix this, you will need to boot to ubuntu, when the screen says "Out
of frequency" press CTRL+ALT+Delete
type Xconfig
follow the onscreen instructions

Correct me if im wrong
