Hi all
I'm fairly new to Linux and am installing Debian as a desktop. However the system booting stops at black screen "input signal out of range". pressing 'crtl-alt- +' takes you to normal GUI desktop. I haven't been able to find the solution on the net. Is the system not loading my AGP driver properly or is it an X-org problem? If I try to change resolution from the desktop it reverts to black screen "input signal out of range again.
the section of my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file reads
