You can buy a adapter at someplace for about 7 dollars. Maybe Radio Shack or Frys would have the. I have a similar card and I am using one.
A what adapter?
I have used a DVI to VGA adapter it is about 1.5 long and was found at Fry's Electronics and looks like "http://www.fullcompass.com/product/374783.html?gclid=CJuTyvqthKoCFUWW7QodUiJ..."
Looks exactly like mine. Are you suggesting mine is broken? It's brand new, but I don't know how else to test. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

FWIW, I've run into exactly that problem before. Swapping out the adapter with a different one fixed the issue. -Jeff -- Jeff Mahoney SuSE Labs -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

11.4 has a probably related problem, cramming all output into the top 1/8" or so of the screen, but at least I can get to a tty to kill X and shutdown. WinXP doesn't seem to care whether I use an adapter or not, working apparently fine with straight DVI cable, or to legacy 15 pin via adapter. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
