[SLE] LCD monitor and suse 8.2
I have new ViewSonic LCD monitor VP2130 and it doesn't work under suse 8.2 in graphical mode. Using Sax2 in text mode and the old monitor I can set monitor to LCD 1600x1200, 60 HZ (correct values) and when LCD monitor is connected (still in text mode) values are changed (by suse ) to VESA 1600x1200 75 HZ. 75HZ is to high and then when option 'Change' is selected Sax2 starts graphical mode and monitor displays massage 'Out of Range'. I tested this monitor on my laptop with suse 10.0 and it works fine, but at the moment I consider upgrade from suse 8.2 to suse 10.0 only as the last resort. Any ideas?

In you xorg.conf (XF86Config), in the section "Screen" there should be a line like: Option "CalcAlgorithm" "CheckDesktopGeometry" Remove this and it should be working.... At least at my machine it did... (Waaaaaaaaay back) -- Peter M.

Did you get a disk with the monitor that contains it's specs for Windows? You can use that while in sax2 setup if you like or you can manually enter your monitor and it's specs in the monitor database. Although, I don't remember what X 8.2 used XF86 or xorg. You could update one of those for better support for your newer monitor also. regards, Lee
