Hi Folks problem sort of solved i still get the 75k/59hz frequency is out or range display but for only about 5 to 7 seconds splash screen, now i can change my screen resolutions & have wobbly effects so am Happy as now, uninstalled all ATI drivers then reinstalled seemed to do the trick X Fingers Cheers

I get "frequency is out or range" during startup. I don't have an ATI.
For a while I worked around the problem by adding vga=xxx in the menu.lst as described here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions
That worked well for a while, but the next time I installed an update, my change was removed & the problem returned.
