hello, i downloaded x86_64bit (from http://www.paldo.org/paldo-live-cd-x86_64-stable.iso) edition of paldo

i burnt the iso, then boot it, however when it starts gdm, i cant see anything and monitor says it's out of range.
what should i do?
i have a Dell 1702FP monitor, it can support up to 1280x1024@60 hz

Seems you don't use a flat-screen TFT as monitor. Your x11-routines don't get your resolution right.

For that cases a VGA-Mode would came handie, but we don't have it yet.

Press CRTL+ALT+F1 to switch to the terminal 1.
Login with root and pw paldo.

enter this cmd:

Code	[In neuem Fenster öffnen]
vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Press I-key.

add this to the file in the end:

Code	[In neuem Fenster öffnen]
Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1280x1024" EndSubSection EndSection

You can replace 1280x1024 by any valid resolution of your screen.

Press ESC-key and write :wq to save the file.

Type

Code	[In neuem Fenster öffnen]
gdm stop gdm start

to restart gdm.

Login as paldo with pw paldo.

well it didnt work for me
i tried different modes but same result, cannot get x.org worked

What graphics card/chip do you have?

well i have a ati radeon 9600

This should work fine with radeon, assuming the EDID information the monitor provides is not buggy. You can try whether the "unstable" Live CD works as it includes a beta version of the upcoming radeon driver release.

You can also just try to use "vesa" instead of "radeon" (change xorg.conf), this usually works but you'll lose the acceleartion.
