Resolution Not Supported on HDTV after install F9

IronFox · #1 2nd October 2008, 08:55 PM

I just installed F9 on a homebuilt pc with Asus p5q-em. After install and reboot, my hdtv displays the booting process but after text mode, i get "mode not supported" which is my tv telling me that the resolution is wrong for it to display. How do I set it up when its first booting up?

Hello and welcome. Please do the following first

Code:

su -
yum update yum*
yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing-newkey
reboot

If any errors appear, post back here. Also, we need to know your graphic card and F9 version. Post

Code:

/sbin/lspci && uname -a
