I have the 1905FP and have the same issue. DVI cables are all that I use, dowloaded updates on monitor, ATI Radeon 300, etc. Monitor has great appearace but always get the "Can't display this mode" message on bootup.
I have had the same problem.
The solution is very simple,try plugging your monitor directly into an outlet, as opposed into a surge protector or power tap. I've found that my LCD, when plugged into a power tap, would sometimes go blank at completely random times; sometimes I haven't a DOS sesion during boot up; when I plugged it directly into an outlet in the wall, the monitor stopped doing that. So this may help.
If you use DVI, you don't have to set anything in yours LCD. Graphic cards
should recognize your LCD and set it nativ resolution (for 21" 1600x1200 - 60Hz).
Resolution, refresh rate, colors, brightness, contrast are set automatically.
After that, in monitor menu you can change manually only brightness and contrast.
The resolution and refresh rate you can change from Display properties.
During boot up LCD starts in standard VGA mod (640x480) and next when system loads drivers
LCD change resolution to nativ (depends on LCD model and graphic cards).
Sometimes if you have connected your monitor to outlet in the computer and switch on the computer
you don't have DOS sesion, monitor stay black until system loads,
but if you press DELETE, after motherboard self test procedure
(bip and next flash the NumLock and CapsLock on the keyboard - LCD all the time is black)
you can get into the BIOS.
Try unistall and reinstall all drivers in this order:
- motherboard chpset driver (VIA Hyperion)
- monitor drivers
- directX 9.0c drivers
- your graphic card drivers
