Setting up Redhat Linux 6.0, and the monitor I have is a VGA Techmedia. I am unable to continue the setup process unless I can define the horizonal/vertical settings for this monitor. After surfing the net, with no results, I am stuck.

Would anyone have information about an e-mail address for a Techmedia monitor?

You don't really to set the monitor as a Techmedia one. Just tell Linux that it's a generic vga monitor and the sync range at 50-70 HZ and I think that will solve your problem. Good Luck !

Just to add to the first answer, after installation in case u find that U are unable to login to Xwindows , then use
Xconfigurator ( remember Capital X) to configure the display type.

Good luck

Just choose Generic VGA monitor.

Unless you're going to be running X, it won't matter anyway, so you could basically put anything. (But keep them low, just in case someone accidently types startx.)

hi, I agree to the above answers but if u r still facing problems just choose the lowest refresh rates from the given options. also choose a lowest resolution.

I faced the same problem with RH7.0 detecting my 17' Datamini. But got no prob earlier with RH6.0,6.1 or other variants.

Belief me guys, even the lowest resolution won't work. What I do now is everytime after I startx I used Xconfigurator which will first detect my graphic card correctly and readjust my screen beautifully. But then it goes on to try to detect my monitor which will always fail and I have to quit with no option to save.

But The GUI will remain since my graphic card was detected and applied but after I log out and log in again...back t square one.

The moral of the story : When using Linux, find a variant that match your hardwares.

Good luck.

Sorry,choosing the lowest resolution will get you to start X window but not necessarily a workable window.
