Title: Help with Linux boot config Makvision monitor
Post by: mamenewb100 on July 18, 2012, 07:17:33 pm

Would anyone happen to how to put the specs of a Makvision 2929D Arcade Monitor with Arcade VGA Video card into xorg.conf in Linux so I can change boot video resolution?

Problem is I'm trying to run GroovyArcadeLinux and my monitor goes out of range because Linux doesn't detect my display properly. Anyone know some generic code to edit the xorg config file that would work for booting with a low res setting like 800x600 at startup?
