Hello,
I have just launch a diagnose software provided by Dell:
the video memory seems corrupted (error in writting or reading).
What may I do ?

Hello,
thanks for your answer:
unfortunately I am now far away from the external screen
(this happened during a workshop).
I have indeed a switch button on my Dell Inspiron 8200 (fn + F8):
I used it to get the image on the external screen, but I forget
to switch back, hence the troubles I guess.
Is there a (simple) way to reset the settings ?

Hello List,
two days ago I plugged my daily updated Etch laptop to an external
screen
(in practice a projector) and everything went fine until the shutdown.
But since then my screen is `crazy': at start up, I funny caracter
appear
everywhere; in console mode the size of the caractere are no more
apropriate;
in console mode, vertical and horizontal line appear and disappear in
different
colours; in gnome session the same happens.
I guess that something was modified and need to be reset,
but I do not know what to do ? May be my screen is dying ?
Any idea is welcome.
Maybe, you switch your computer to external screen output (sometimes
there is a
button Fn + F7 to do it). And your OS and X server try to synchronize
things using the settings of this output which doesn't exist, hence the
problem...
What should be done :
- try to switch again to external screen (do the same manipulation once
or twice, sometime there is settings for LCD -> External -> External +
LCD),
- try to replug your computer to the external screen.
Regards,
Sylvain Le Gall
