    refresh rate exceeded ...monitor hangs.....plz help

    I am using KUBUNTU with the ati properitiery drivers for my d101ggc and upgraded the screen resolution but in my happiness i also increased the refresh rate to 85 which was not acceptable to the monitor so now when the system starts the monitor doesnot start sighting the error in refresh rate
    what should i do
    i tried it using the recovery mode but i am able to login only as sudo how do i login as root
    and change the refresh rate manually
    please explain in detail
    thanks

    Try this:

    Start normally, you get blank screen (or something)- Press Ctrl+ Alt+F1 (or F2..F6).

    Log in the text mode.


    Code:
    sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
    This reconfigures xserver (screen resolution, refresh rate, lot of other stuff). And it makes backup.


    Code:
    sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart
    This restarts kde

    Stopping kdm: sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop
    Starting: sudo /etc/init.d/kdm start
    Before you edit, BACKUP !
