SaX2 or Xorg can refuse to load some resolution that is too high for

Freq. 30 - 70hz horizontal

Bandwidth 100Mhz

My monitor is a 19" diag. (real size about 17") capable of 1280 x 1024
at 60hz, but sax wont believe it.

I guess it is time to see /etc/X11/xorg.conf, can you post it?
It would be also good to know openSUSE version.

BTW, I have PCI version of the same card.

Suse 10.1 for AMD 64

This is what I mentioned under physical size.
H=313/25.4=12.3"
V=235/25.4=9.25"
Diagonal size is 15.4".
Your monitor is recognized as 15".
You have to change that manually to whatever is visible size of your 19"
monitor.

Somewhat spartan Section "Modes".
You can comment out that line too, like this:

________________________________

My card is AGP version, which I have discovered may be part of the
trouble. I have not yet been able to find any agp drivers in the
system. Searches sofar have turned up only old info about agpgart and
nvagp and unsolved problems with both.

The agpgart worked fine in 10.1 with AGP graphic card in old computer.
As I have nvidia 3D driver installed there too, I can assume that nvagp works
fine if it is used.
