Slitaz cooking does not like my monitor

I have two computers with slitaz-cooking installed.
Both have trouble booting it, if I connect a hanns-g HW173A vga-only lcd monitor to the vga-port.
Connecting an other brand (Samsung 24¨ or an old Medion lcd monitor) reveals nothing wrong with booting slitaz cooking. I updated to the newest packages.
one of the computers has besides slitaz also ubuntu and kubuntu installed. ubuntu & kubuntu boot nice, slitaz fails on the hanns-g monitor.
This is what happens:
grub2 starts, I choose slitaz, hit return and the usual lines of the booting process run over the screen, at one point the letter-size becomes tiny, but when it is time to start up xvideo, the image freezes and the hanns-g monitor issues a msg:
input signal out of range.
and nothing more can be done.
Time to push the reset button....
Perhaps there exists a boot-option for slitaz cooking, in order to get the monitor running.
Slitaz 3.0 worked nice on this monitor...
please help, Douwe.

Try the xvesa (http://mirror.slitaz.org/iso/3.0/flavors/) version and see if that works better.
