I just installed Linux on a new PC, but my old machine has an AMD A4-3420 and GT 710. The monitor is VGA only and shows lower resolution. I need 1024x768 at 60Hz. It’s already set to 1024x768 but at 120Hz. How can I fix this?

VGA input supports smart communication with the GPU and OS, ensuring resolution and refresh rate stay within the display’s capabilities. Unless explicitly instructed otherwise, it won’t override the hardware limits. It’s possible your cable is outdated or damaged, preventing proper signal transmission—especially if the data pin is faulty, which can confuse the OS about sync and hsync settings. Key factors include the installation method, the display manager in use, and any special X.org settings. Check /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ for forced sync rates, resolutions, or model definitions. Determine when the error appears during startup, whether you view the BIOS screen, boot menu, or GUI, and if a different VT (like CTRL+ALT+F) is visible with specific keys.

It indicates the VGA cable functions properly. A boot manager like GRUB should be present, though its automatic selection of Linux might happen too quickly to notice—particularly if that’s the sole option available. Regarding the VTs?
