Hello, this may be a stupid question, but I am at a loss what to do. I have received a pc with suse linux 9.2, which boots well. After booting, i expect a login screen. However, I get a message from the monitor: Attention cannot display this video mode change computer display input to 1280x1024@60hz. No screen, nothing. What do I do now? Thanks for any help, Ruud

On the boot screen, enter "3" in the boot parameters. This will bot in runlevel 3, which is only text mode. Login there with the root password, and start: #sax2 -l This will start the config utility in low resolution mode. Change your setup to some lower resolution than 1280x1024. Most probably your monitor can not use so high res. Sunny

After the machine has booted and you're getting that message from the monitor. try ctrl-alt-F2 or F1,F3,F4,F5... or even ctrl-alt-backspace. The F2 command there should bring you to a login prompt which you can login, run SaX2 to change the properties of your video configuration. The problem sounds like your SuSe config is not setup for your specific monitor. Maybe the resolution is too high or the sync rates do not match. BB
