Re: [SLOVED] 1: Analog input cannot display this video mode

Sounds like your monitor is unable to show whatever your xorg.conf settings are putting out.  In text mode look at your xorg.conf file.  It will most likely be a resolution, refresh rate or maybe color depth problem.  Try setting the default color from 24 to 16 for example.  I don't know why it would have changed between yesterday and today though.
