Monitor rolls once Slitaz has booted

Hi all just download Slitaz and burnt the ISO, I tried to load it, got through the menus, but I think once the x-server started the monitor just displayed lines that rolled.  A graphic came up on the screen (from the monitor) and it read:

Out Of Range

FH: 30 KHz - 95 KHz

Fv: 50 Hz - 160 Hz

Current Frequency

FH: 95 KHz Fv: 77 Hz

I guess the fact that it falls in the "acceptable ranges" is a bit odd.  Here under Windows I see the display adapter is listed as an Intel 82945G.  One of Intel's programs generated this:

I thought 77 Hz looked a bit odd too.  Is there some arguments I can pass using the xarg= in Slitaz's boot process?

Re: Monitor rolls once Slitaz has booted

Which version of SliTaz are you using?

Re: Monitor rolls once Slitaz has booted

My apologies, I didn't even think to specify that.  I'm using Slitaz 3.0.  I used the link on the main page:

http://mirror.slitaz.org/iso/3.0/slitaz-3.0.iso

I burned the ISO and am booting from the CD.  I appreciate the quick reply and hope that you can help.  Thank you.

Re: Monitor rolls once Slitaz has booted

Your question got me thinking.  I just tried the cooking ISO and it seems to work!

Thanks again
