Transferring from X-Windows to the console

["S Yuval" <syuval@SoftHome.net>]

My ViewSonic P810 monitor is unable to transfer from the X Windows to the
Debian console, using Alt-F1, and displays an "invalid refresh rate"
message. I am currently using a 60 Hz refresh rate and a 1280x960 pixel
resolution. In Red Hat Linux this problem could be solved by lowering my
resolution, but now this no longer seems to solve the problem. I'd
appreciate your assistance.

Sincerely,

Shahar Yuval
