hi i got the Angstrom distribution running on the Beagle Board but the
monitor am using displays
out of range.. i tried changing the video settings given in Beagle
board FAQ but the output is same.
my serial terminal shows the login prompt and i can log in also

Am using the Angstrom image and other files required from the link

http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beagleboard/archive/Angstrom-Beagleboard-demo-image-glibc-ipk-2009.X-stable-20090612--beagleboard.rootfs.tar.bz2
and the kernel from the /boot directory in the same image above…

what connection type does your “Benq 19” widescreen" have? DVI, HDMI, VGA?

hi

my monitor has a DVI-D input so i use a HDMI to DVI-D convertor.
my HDMI goes into Beagle Board and DVI-D into the monitor...

I haven't been able to get my BB to properly output a widescreen
resolution. Tried all sorts of recommended boot/environment settings,
but no luck. I ended up swapping my widescreen monitor with a 19" 4:3
monitor, and all was well. I know this isn't *that* helpful a
response, but your BB is probably not broken; it just won't work with
widescreen monitors by default, and there isn't a clear guide on
making it start working, at least that I've come across.
