First, boot to run level 3 (no X.) I do this by just hitting the number "3" key in grub before booting into SuSE.

OK, that did it. Now I'm at the next problem (groan). I can now get a legible screen. The problem with it is that it has a visual effect that I can best describe as a darker horizontal region that moves down the screen several times a second. I've been trying to find a monitor setting that eliminate that effect, with no success. The one that logically should do it -- Dell laptop @1024 -- does not do it. I've also tried the LCD monitor settings, and they are no better. A complication in dealing with this is that as far as I can determine Dell provides no specs on its screen. Paul
