Hi,

Have you tried your monitor on another machine yet? If it works, then all will be well...but...

It IS possible to damage your monitor by setting an incorrect (too high) sync rate on your monitor under Linux. There were lots of warnings about this during video installation/configuration with the version of Caldera Linux I used for a while.

I hope your monitor isn't damaged...

Cheers,
Tim.

It is also possible that there was nothing wrong with the settings, and your monitor just up and died.
