[opensuse] Gateway Solo2550 & SuSE 10.1
I'm trying to sneak a little Linux into my better-halfs life. After the install [ as above ] I can't get the viewing area of the screen to go to full width. It leaves about an inch of black all the way around the viewing area. As near as I can tell from the Gateway spec sheet it set the video driver right. The screen doesn't have much information, other than its a 13.3 TFT, I have it set to 14 in the config file. I've dug through every configuration setting I can find but nothing in SuSE will change it. Windows XP on the other half of the drive does just fine so I'm not so sure its a bios or hardware thing. Any ideas????????????

There's your problem. Use Yast to get away from Vesa. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
