Tried all the  combinations of this I could think of.

xforcevsea does not work.

I tried appending xres=1024x768 to the end and that did not work. I first tried appending it by just adding it to the end, then tried again by backspacing the double dash "--" and replacing it with the xres statement, no dice. I tried the debug option, a bunch of statements flash by the screen, then the monitor goes to sleep never to return, like its not getting a signal. I even selected the install option once with the same result.

To repeat, I see

the "boot:" prompt <RETURN>
the menu
 the Loading casper/vmlinuz then dots....
the casper/initrd.gz.............more dots............
then "ready". Then the monitor goes to sleep.

Any help appreciated.
John
