Comment 2 for bug 127168

Hi,
I'm trying to boot the Kubuntu Gutsy Tribe 5 live CD (AMD64), but X starts my nvidia GE-FORCE 7300LE at a refresh rate too high for my (old) analog CRT (max 60 Hz @ 1024x768), so the monitor can't sync.
I tried to change the boot options (VGA resolution, safe graphical mode) but nothing helped. Maybe there will
be a "vga=xxx" boot option that works, but I can't guess what.
In my opinion, when the display capabilities can't be detected, it would be better (and safer) to start X with more conservative settings because it would allow to change them later to fit the user's preferences. It's much more difficult to change back those settings when your display is out of synch!

Saluti.
