Yes, this worked. The problem is that because of the very low resolution the text selections were nearly impossible to read. Because I was known with this menue from before, I could guess a reasonable resolution, and optimize it later. I also tried "sax2 -V" without better readability. But I still cannot understand what causes the problem. I have clearly a good monitor which can manage the highest LCD resolution available for SaX2, 1280x1024@75. Terje J. Hanssen

The problem comes from the monitor settings created by SaX2. If those ranges are too wide, it incorrectly thinks it can run 1280x1024@??, where ?? > 75 and apparently outside the monitor specs. Within SaX2 it is possible to manually set the proper ranges for your monitor though, so if you set it to a maximum of 75Hz (vertical refresh rate that is), then the problem should be prevented.

I had the same exact problem with my viewsonic VP171s LCD. It is most important to setup monitor in Yast during the install before you boot the first time. -- Thom Nuzum thom@tendata.com Realtor Technology Training Washington DC, Virginia,& Maryland
