Hi,

I have serious problems to configure my laptop display using SuSE, so any help are welcome.

First, if I try to set a 1900x1200 resolution, the screen appears distorted, and the only compatible resolution is 1024x768, but in this resolution, the laptop Active Matrix doesn't works. The screen fix in the center of LCD, little with a black bars around them.

And with I use this compatible resolution, when I switch between terminals, using the keyboards shortcuts like Alt+F2, the screen noise again, in the text mode, and if I try to come back in the graphic mode, the system crash.

I have no idea for what to do, I call to the SuSe support, and them cannot help me and suggest this discussion list, I hope to find some help, because I didn't fin anything about this in the web.

Thanks for the help, and sorry for the English.

The nVidia GeForce 4 4200 Go-Grafik-Engine needs driver from nvidia to work properly - please see http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp The driver shipped with SuSE are not as good as possible - but this is a license problem - my Latitude C840 is running under SuSE 8.1 and two nvidia rpms: NVIDIA_GLX-...rpm and NVIDIA_kernel-...rpm.
