Anyway do you know what the cause of this black screen is?

Hi I connected by Acer aspire one to an LG19LS4D. The highest resolution that can be selected in the monitor settings is 1024x768. I know that both the netbook and TV can support a higher resolution than this. i also tried connecting to another monitor and this allowed me to select 1280x768. So is there any way I can force a resolution when I connect to my LG?. I am running peppermint OS3

It worked! Thank you for your time. The only reason I wanted to keep linpus was If there was some kind of hardware incompatibility with peppermint but everything is working fine anyways.

It does not mount i get this output:

See the edit in my last posting .. if you need help  running the script, just ask.

I have attached the file to this post. I dont know why it say Windows XP for sda1, I have never had that OS on this machine??

the grub menu now shows up but linpus is not an option. There is peppermint, peppermint recovery, and two memtests or something.

os brobber and update grub did'nt work

output requestef is below:
