I just installed SuSE 7.0 and the monitor goes blank with an out-of-range message when I try to run xmms. I have a Diamond V770 card and am using Xfree 4. I've tried all settings such as lower screen res and even went back to Xfree 3 and still the same.

Can any one give me a few pointer where to try next. This never occurred under MD 7.1 so it must be something with one of the settings I presume.

This is an NVIDIA problem; I had it too. Please refer to the following support database articles. An excerpt of the symptoms from one follows: ___________________________________________________________ Symptom: One of the following things happens: You are using a graphic card with an nVidia chip like Riva TNT or GeForce. During the configuration with sax 2 or by launching some programs, like xmms or the configuration of the screen saver, the GUI turns black or the system hangs completely. ____________________________________________________________ <p>http://sdb.suse.de/sdb/en/html/wengel_glx_nv.html http://sdb.suse.de/sdb/en/html/nvidialong.html The advice in these support reports should fix the problem completely. <p><p> Good Luck, Jonathan
