Right. Houston, we have a Problem. It's just done the awol screen again. :( Switching it off has helped but how do I stop it doing this completely? (A friend did try helping yesterday but couldn't find much.)
Bev.
A bit of research (reading the manual) and it seems graphics card config using xorg might be useful. How do I find what card I have and what driver it uses?
Hi,
My LCD monitor has a "Autosense" button which aligns the screen left/righ/up/down etc when use via a VGA cable. Perhaps yours has something similar - it may be worth checking, and pressing it if it has.
Absolutely certain the screen resolution is OK. (It is now, for example.) It auto configs when I switch it on.
When the screen goes AWOL, what happens? Does the screen LED status light change colour?
What happens? Well, the graphics get very distorted. The top half of the desktop (not the login screen) is three stripes of my wallpaper, and the lower half either black, white, a mix of both or sometimes pinky orange colour. The pointing device/mouse makes it flash like a strobe light.
Are you connecting via an (modern) DVI (HDMI) cable, or a (old fashioned) VGA cable?
1.0 x Audio - Line-out - 15 pin HD D-Sub (HD-15) - 1.0, Display / video - VGA - Mini-phone stereo 3.5 mm
Is the spec so I assume that means VGA. The graphics card is.
