Subject: [tclug-list] Monitor out of sync

I recently changed monitors on my son's SUSE 9.2 box.  I went from a 19" to 
a 15".  Upon boot-up the monitor just flashed all it's lights indicating 
that it was unhappy with the current resolution or refresh rate.  This made 
sense to me & I modified the X Window files for the new monitor 
accordingly.  Now the monitor blinks it's lights at boot time until X 
Windows starts, then it's fine.  Where are the files that control the 
monitor in text mode?  What do I need to change?  Thanks.

Before the change did you get a penguin in the upper left of the screen. If
you did that means the frame buffer device was used for the screen output.
You will need to change the fbdev setting in lilo.conf or grub to match the
new monitor size.
