I want to thank you Chris and Stan for all your efforts to help solve my problem. Unfortunately I was forced to re-format my Drive, and delete Debian from my system. I have now installed the FreeBSD Operating System which is working for me so far. (It uses the BIOS default resolution unless...

The 'videoinfo' Command provides data for the "VESA BIOS Extension Video Driver". It lists Resolutions 1920x1440, 1600x1200, 1280x1024, 1024x768, 800x600, and 640x480. It is set at 640x480. The manual for my Ultra VGA Monitor says that it can handle Resolutions up to 1024x768.

I found the word "quiet" near the bottom of the edit screen, and I added "splash", "nomodeset" and "vga=792" in all possible combinations. None of these solved the problem, and in some cases made it worse. It is a very bad idea for an Operating System to attempt to set the Screen Resolution...

I don't think we're using the same version of Debian. I have Debian GNU / Linux 4.9.0 - 4 - 686 - pae with GRUB Version 2.02 beta 3-5 -- which is the current version available on debian.org. There was no 'quiet splash' line in the Boot File. I added the 'quiet splash nomodeset' line which...

Thanks again Chris and Stan. I'll try these methods when I get home. I'll check, but I think it's Debian GNU or GNOME. The Video Driver in the Microchip is set at 640x480. I'll check the Manual to see the maximum resolution the Monitor can handle. However, the Debian CD and Boot / Grub Menu...

Hi Chris, Thanks for your welcome. I wish I had started converting to Linux before I suffered the 'Windows Bluescreen' horror in December which left my original Hard Drive inaccessible. That's correct; at startup I have the Grub Menu to select to boot from either Debian or Debian Recovery or...

Hi Atanere, I'll post my results as soon as I can log into Debian. I'm currently suffering a Monitor Resolution problem. [I'm posting this from my brother's house]

I have managed to successfully install Debian on a Partition on my IBM Pentium 4 via Installation CD. (Note to programmers: add to the Installation Help Box that Linux cannot be installed on a Partition created by Microsoft Windows. You have to delete & reformat that MS Partition using Linux...

Okay, I think the Wvdial command will solve my situation. Below is the Link for anyone else in need. If this doesn't work I'll reply back. https://wiki.debian.org/Wvdial

I'm going to be installing Debian on my IBM Intel Pentium 4 Desktop via CD. How does Debian connect to my internal Voice / Fax Modem (ITU-T V.92, 56Kbps) so that I can connect to the Internet via Dialup? I assume that the Driver for Microsoft Windows is useless.
