Q. I am getting following error:
Analog Input: Cannot display this video mode.
What is the meaning of this error and How do I fix it?
A. This error indicates that current monitor refresh rate is not correct i.e out of monitor range. You need to consult monitor manufacturer to get correct refresh rate values (visit web site or read manual). Once you got the correct values, reconfigure your monitor (X windows) using any one the command (as per your Linux distribution) mentioned here.

I have the exact same problem except that it happens when I want to run certain programs, normally video games. When I change my refresh rate I get that “cannot be displayed”error. I’m installing new video card drivers just in case.
This is happening to my sister’s monitor. If the screen is black except for the messege how do you fix it?

Analog can not display my Monitor. How could i fix it?
Cannot display this video mode is the only this i see on screen when i turn on the machine what is the problem
I have this same problem…a black screen with the Analog Input message. On my computer this has nothing to do with games or downloads. When starting my computerm I first get the Dell startup screen followed by the Windows XP startup screen, followed by the black screen with the message.
I do not know if this is related, but just before this problem began, we bought a new flat screen TV with a blue ray and had the Geek Squad set it up. Of course, they say nothing they did would have any effect on the computer. Dell accessed my computer and told me it was a bad video card, but others say this is not the case.
Regardless of the corrective messured required, how do you make the necessay changes with a black screen?
Can you tell me how you fix the computer.
my name is neven.Imam a problem can not find a video mode error if someone let him know that it gives a link to download for counter strike in the forward 1.6.hvala
I just had this problem on a new install. Turns out the LCD monitor I’m using only supports 60 Hz., and the GeForce2 mx 400 (in this case) set itself to 85 Hz. When I connected it to a CRT, it worked. I changed the refresh rate to 60 HZ and reconnected the LCD. No problems. (Right-click the desktop, Properties/Settings/Advanced/Monitor/Screen Refresh Rate) Hope it helps sombody. I searched every engine and found nothing I didn’t have to pay for first.
