    Hello,

    I brought my Peg2 home (I used in my lab before), and changed the monitor to a LCD Screen. The frequency with the resolution I had set before does not match, so I can't see anything in MorphOS.

    From the linux side, I moved the monitor file I created before outside the Presets dir, and now I can see the MorphOS logo while booting, but nothing else.

    Which are the files related with the screen mode? Can I edit them from outside (linux)? I tried renaming these files, to see if I got a default config:

    /boot/Prefs/env-archive/sys/PublicScreens.prefsDISABLED
    /boot/MorphOS/Prefs/mprefs/ScreenMode.mprefsDISABLED

    Thanks!

    Maybe booting from MorphOS CD would get you started?

    Yeah, well, thanks for the obvious... ^^;

    It seems that I will have to go back to the lab, grab the MorphOS CD, and get a CD-drive.... (I only used it for the first installation...).

    Thanks.
