Mates,
This is one of the things that is driving my crazy. I have 2 boxes that
have identical Acer 2216W displays. Both had previously run SuSE 10.0
and the Yast Monitor database had the exact display "Acer 2216W" that
yast would automatically choose and properly setup under sax2.
First machine updated December time frame, yast had and properly
selected the "Acer 2216W" for the 10.3 install. This Monday I had to
update the other machine and Yast now selected the Vesa --> 1280x1024
monitor. I thought, "no problem, I'll just select the right one."
WRONGO! The "Acer 2216W" monitor is nowhere to be found in this install.
WTF? These two installs are all from the same .iso? How could that be?
Is there or was there some monitor database update that should have
been utilized in this install that wasn't? If so, where do I get it? Has
anyone else seen such random nonsense on the installs they are doing?
It is a pain to have to calculate modelines and manually set monitor
width heights and H and W freq. ranges when they were just there in the
last install and they were there on this very same box for the 10.0 install.
Grumbling, but concerned. Can you help!

Out of curiosity, did you try copying the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file from
the working machine to the non-working one and use that to start your
display? Of course, as all good computing practices go, backup the
original xorg.conf file before doing the copy.
Oh, that was done long ago, I can build my own xorg.conf file without
any problems. The Point and the Problem was the inconsistency of the
monitor database that I was stuck using on this last install and where
to get the updated one. That was the issue and the question.
