<div dir="ltr">well.... almost fine. the colours are a bit off and the colour adjustments don't adjust it enough. Also the image isn't as sharp as with the CRT and there isn't an adjustment for that. Is there a way to fix those with linux?<br>

Mike,<br>
1. have you tried to use a different VGA cable? Check the cable connectors for broken or missing pins.<br>
2. If the monitor has a menu, check the menus - does the monitor have more than one input, like both a VGA input and a DVI input or even an HDMI input? One of my monitors has all three and the monitor's menu will allow me to choose which one. Normally it will default to whatever is plugged in but that may not be the case for your flat screen.<br>
3. Do you have a special driver installed for your CRT monitor? If so, you may need to remove it. (but I realize that's not likely!)<br>
4. Are the flat screens you have used? Are you sure they are in working order?<br>
5. Have you tried leaving the monitor on and just shutting down and rebooting the computer? (It's stupid, but sometimes that works.)<br>

Well, both of them say, 'No signal detected', from two different<br>
computers. As for the live cd thing I'll have to test that tomorrow when<br>
I can get to a free computer.<br>

Post screen is your bios. No drivers or os just a power On self test<br>
(post) to see if the card is sending anything to the display.<br>
<br>
The use of a live CD was to see if it was an OS config issue or<br>
not. I have had interesting moments where I had to define my<br>
displays in detail before x would work. Not usually an issue much<br>
anymore but this is a good check to see if it is the case.<br>

On the same graphics card/device? Some devices will only run<br>
x number of cards and if you are over x the new displays<br>
will just never show. If there are only 2 total then it<br>
should be ok. Do you get a post screen and have you tried a<br>
live CD to see if they show?<br>

I don't know. The plug coming out of the<br>
monitors is VGA so I would think it would just<br>
be like a regular monitor. Oh.... maybe I should<br>
mention that crt monitors work and that these<br>
flat screens are replacements for working CRTs.<br>

Or, perhaps the output you are using on CPU<br>
box is set to other than the one you are<br>
using. Nerve systems sometimes can't output<br>
analog VGA and digital at the same time.<br>
