Re: Out of Range Monitor Problim

["Stephen P. Molnar" <s.molnar@sbcglobal.net>]

OK. Now I boot into as user, but the resolution leaves something to be 
desired, 1024x760.

The new card is a ViasiontekHD5450 16GB D3 DVH PCI Card.

The Monitor is a LG Flattop 24EN33TW-B with a recommended resolution of 
1920X1080 67500 kHz 60kHz +/+ (Which, I think the resolution was before 
the mishap)

I installed inxi and get the following results:

While I am quite comfortable, doing molecular orbital computations, I 
would be very uncomfortable trying to proceed further.

Guidance would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
