Last year, I installed SuSE 9.1 on my wife's pc , which has a Sony TFT screen. I got an error message along the lines of "frequency out of range", after which installation aborted. I used another Pc to google about this problem, and managed to find a solution. Yesterday I replaced my CRT with a new Samsung TFT screen, satrted mt computer (SuSe 9.2), and got a black screen with an error message "no video mode available". Nothing in the SuSe administration handbook about this. Again I spent a good hour trying to solve the problem. The solution involved booting into text mode, but then the wrong Samsung screen was detected, and sax2 choked on the monitor and displayed the familiar "no video mode available". It's working now. Surely this is unacceptable for a modern Linux distribution, considering that most PC's are now sold with a TFT screen. FX
