Thank you for the tip. I will re-install SuSE and check that out. > >BTW, selections like vesa choose video cards, not displays. What video card >(or chipset, if this is a laptop) are you using? No, it is not a laptop - it is a stand alone 17" TFT panel display. It plugs into a parallel port just like a normal monitor. I will have a look at what the video card is and select that. Maybe that is the answer. > > Best regards. -- geoff bagley - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
