Topic: (Resolved) HELP. Monitor, no signal. No tty.

I dowloaded Crunch 10-alpha-02-openbox-amd64 and instaled it in the PC.
When I start it after boot I see a few lines initializing and after a few seconds the monitor losses the signal.
Ctrl-Alt-F1 does nothing and im unable to do nothing.
I can see Crunch correctly instaled from anther O.S.
Before Ctrl-Alt-F1 the conbination Ctrl-Alt-Del does nothing, but after press it the computer reboot normaly.
I have reinstaled Grub in Ubuntu, because after install Crunch with his Grub I ca'nt see the other systems.
Graphic card: ATI Radeon HD 3450, chipset RV 620 LE.
Thanks in advance.

Re: (Resolved) HELP. Monitor, no signal. No tty.

The problem was also with Crunch in mode live, no graphics, no console.
Ive have had problems trying others distributions, always the same problem, the monitor losses the signal, but I can manage that modifiing the kernel line of grub menu erasing or adding ("quiet", "nomodeset", "acpi=off", etc) some instructions, but with Crunch I do not find any solution.
I try the Crunch live in my daugther's computer with an older ATI with no problems.
Then I open my mind in another direction. The MONITOR. In short, the problem is the DVI-D cable. Changing it for a VGA cable and all is OK.
