Is there anyone who uses an LG Flatron L1510S TFT monitor with SUSE 9.3?
I'm pretty sure the machine at home has one of those. Works fine. Is it running the proper resolution? Check SuSE - Control Center - Peripherals - Display Resolution MUST be 1024 x 768 @ 50, 60 or 75 Hz A TFT will always look horrible at anything but its native resolution. If it's wrong, drop down to runlevel 3 (text only) If it's already running get a terminal window and su to root. type init 3 If it's not boot it up and type a 3 into the "Boot: " box on the GRUB splash screen. You'll get a text login screen, log in as root and run sax2. I've forgotten if SuSE9.3 gets it right first time, (SuSE 8.2 got it horribly wrong) but you should get some display. If it's not smooth, say you want to change monitor settings, go to properties and set it to generic LCD 1024x768@60Hz. (I couldn't find L1510S in either "LG" or "LG Electronics") Test that, save it, and try startx to see what your desktop looks like. Once you think you've done all you can, reboot or "init 5" as root. I had more difficulty getting a DVI connected LCD working than VESA. (My L1510S doesn't have DVI, the DVI was on a Hyundai L90D) Hope you get it working, SuSE displays as well as Windows for me. michaelj -- Michael James michael.james@csiro.au System Administrator voice: 02 6246 5040 CSIRO Bioinformatics Facility fax: 02 6246 5166 No matter how much you pay for software, you always get less than you hoped. Unless you pay nothing, then you get more.
