OS/2, eCS & ArcaOS - Technical > Setup & Installation

eCS connected to another monitor: black screen

(1/1)

Hello,

I just installed eCS onto a computer and unfortunately chose a screen resolution that the
monitor that I want to use permanently with eCS does not support. Now, when booting,
the screen goes black.

Is there a way to change the screen resolution at boot-time ?  My PC has a pecularity: eCS
could only be installed with a PS2 keyboard plugged in. At home, I only have USB keyboards -
so I cannot use the installation DVD for a possible fix.

Thank you,

Alex

you can reset video mode:

boot system, press Ctrl-Alt-Del one time, goto command line and ..

You can also hit alt-F1 at the very beginning of the boot process and revert to 800x600 if needed.

Dave,

thanks to Eugene's and your help I finally managed to reach this blue screen admin screen.

Previous attempts just froze eCS.

It is marvelous to use eCS natively, I really like it.

I am currently writing down suggestions for new end-user features of eCS.
