Boot display on external monitor solved
Posted: Mon Nov 12, 2007 6:28 am
I am running Celena on a laptop. I use an external monitor - Viewsonic VP191b.
When I boot up, if anything happens to push the Mint boot sequence out of the splash screen (for example checking file systems) I can't see what is happening, the textual information sent to monitor is displayed as an illegible stream of white markings.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
If I try to switch the display to the laptop's (Acer Travelmate 4052 LMi) LCD screen the system freezes requiring reboot so this is not an option.
