Hi -
I've been running Kubuntu Karmic happily for several months. I recently did a long-overdue system update, after which my monitor no longer honored the power saving settings. This has happened before, and I've just needed to open the Display settings and re-save them. This time, when I opened the Display settings, my monitor blanked with the message "Input signal out of range" and I had to kill and restart X.
I looked around online to see if anyone had this exact problem, but I didn't see any forum posts or bug reports that helped me (I did see some reports of X crashing when opening the Display settings).
It looks like the problem is that the Display settings application is resetting my screen resolution from 1280x1024 to 800x600 and my monitor (IBM L170) will not accept the new signal. My video card is an NVidia GeForce 6150 LE.
Has anyone run into this (or a similar) problem and have any advice?
Thanks!
