To cut a long story short, I had no luck with the XFree86 configuration tools, including SaX2. Whatever I did, I still got the same error message.
So, in the end, I "cheated!" I connected my old monitor back up. It wouldn't work in graphical mode, so my XFree file must have really got in a mess. It worked in textmode, so I ran the ncurses version of YaST2. I set the monitor up to only run at 1025x768 at 60KHz - 75Hz. I have checked the XF86Config and it does only contain the one resolution.
When I plugged the new monitor back in, it worked. So all is now well.
Many thanks again for your help.
Cheers

Hi Keith, This may be useful in the future. I was mucking around with sax2 yesterday and brought up the man page. There is an option -l which may have solved your problem. -l Enable low resolution. Allow only the 640x480 reso lution for the graphics setup. This is usefull if the DDC probing of the monitor results in not dis playable resolution values. -- Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------
