hmmm....I wonder if I have a similar problem. Most of your conversation was way over my head, but I'l like to post my problem anyway to see if someone can help. I have a compact pressario notebook...2100 series. I want to use the notebook like a desk top when at home. We have a wireless keyboard and mouse....just got a lcd tv monitor. Instructions state to plug in vga cable to both pc and monitor and it should work...WRONG. As I power on the PC..when I see the blue compact screen, but before the log on and music...the lcd monitor displays the same blue picture....then seconds later right when the pc asks for my log in, the lcd monitor goes blank/black....and a message states "no signal detected". I have no idea what to do. Any suggestions in simple terms?

I tried the modlines from the Gateway FD1500 and had no luck.

I've got a ATI Radeon 9700 Pro and a Gateway FPD1930.

My Device section reads:

Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI"
Driver "radeon"
BoardName "ATI Radeon 9700 Pro"
VideoRam 16384
Option "ModelLayout" "TVDS"
EndSection

Monitor section reads:

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "GATEWAY"
ModelName "Gateway FPD1930"
DisplaySize 380 300
HorizSync 30.0 - 83.0
VertRefresh 56.0 75.0
Option "dpms"
EndSection

<i've removed those Modelines from the 1500 config>

Anybody have any luck with this monitor? I get a blank screen that says Input Signal Out of Range....

Thanks,

When i go back to my analog cable, it works without any modifications.

However using the digital one gives the message about input signal out of range.

any suggestions on how to move back to the digital cable?
