setting for VGA in safemode
I've got a Compaq with an SVGA video card hooked up to an old VGA monitor. I
booted in safe mode, because I'm afraid that using SVGA output, with the default high refresh rate, will blow out the old VGA monitor. I figured that I could set the display to VGA while in safe mode, then reboot normally and still be in VGA. But, I just discovered that, while in safe mode, I don't seem to be able to set the resolution (or refresh rate) for the next, Normal bootup. How do I solve this, how do I configure so as to starup in VGA only? Thanks. |

having formulated and posted the question, a possible answer comes to mind:
will ME detect that the monitor is VGA, and set its own display properties accordingly? That seems to make sense. Therefore, the only way to have a video card overdrive the monitor with too high of a refresh rate would be if the monitor had already been detected and installed by ME, then changed manually afterwards? |
