Subject:	SCOUG-Help: Video card displayparameters at boot

Content Type: text/plain

I have swapped out my old Sony CPD-G520 21" CRT monitor in favor of a
Dell 2407WFP-HC LCD flat panel. The new display works best on a DVI
interface, but one of my systems won't boot using the DVI interface. I
get a message saying something like:

Signal out of range. re-configure for 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz.

This seems to be hardware related rather than software because it
happens when the machine is trying to display the BIOS screens.

I am currently using an ATI Radeon 7200 video card with 32 MB ram. The
card provides both VGA and DVI interfaces, but only boots using the
VGA interface.

Any suggestions as to what ATI card(s) might boot at a resolution of
1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz? What do I look for? I don't want to keep buying
video cards until I get one that works!

I wanted to use an ATI chipset for compatibility with the SNAP 3.1.8
and Panorama drivers. The Radeon 7200 is listed as being supported by
SNAP for flat panel displays.

The motherboard is an ASUS A7V133 with a VIA Apollo KT133A chipset and
an AGP 4X video slot, running an Athlon 900 MHz cpu.

Any ideas?

Thx
