Linux bootup problem with Dell 1703 FP Monitor
Installed Linux Fedora Core 3. Using an ATI Radeon 9200 AGP graphics card. Get bootup error "1: Analog input: Cannot display this video mode." Question: Does Dell or a 3rd party have a Linux driver for this monitor?
Just curious...

Thanks... I'll try temporarily hooking it up to my HDTV DLP monitor in hopes of changing the Linux resolution/refresh rate to 1280 / 60 Hz (if that works... hope so as it's the only other "monitor" I have now besides a laptop).

It's probably not a driver problem. The monitor will only work if the recommended resolution and bit depth are set up in your configuration file (I assume it's 1280 X 1024 at millions of colors). You old monitor was probably working at a different resolution.
See this post for a step-by-step procedure to do just that.

This is not a driver issue; rather it is a BIOS issue. The integrated memory buffer is set at 1MB by default. Go into the settings and change it to 8. The AGP module will load just fine :-)
