I had that problem once with my Dell 8100. It has to do with the bios. I upgraded the bios and that fixed it. art -----Original Message----- From: Jean-Jacques Laboutière [mailto:jjlab@club-internet.fr] Sent: Wednesday, September 18, 2002 7:13 PM To: SUSE LINUX List Subject: [SLE] Display installation troubles Hello, I'm just starting with Linux and I'm stopped in my first steps by a problem about which I can find no help in the SUSE documentation. I've bought SUSE 8.0 a few weeks ago and I've installed it on my Pentium IV Dell with a nVidia GeForce 2 Display adapter on AGP bus. Everything seemed to go fine except the fact that I couldn't do anything because of the display: when in KDE, the desktop was overlapping the monitor screen size and was moving right and left, up and down, following the mouse moves and never allowing me to get a whole view of the desktop. . Looking for some help on the Suse Web Site, I found that the nVidia Display adapters were not fully supported by SUSE 8.0 and that I was to get the right driver from the nVidia Web Site. Not knowing anything about Linux yet, and, therefore, not knowing how to install a driver, I decided I'd rather change my display adapter and I bought a Matrox Millenium G550, still on AGP bus, which is supposed to be fully supported by SUSE 8.0. (I was told so by the seller). I installed this Matrox display adapter, which works perfectly well with Windows XP on this PC (just as the nVidia did: so, it's not a connection problem). I re-installed Linux SUSE 8.0, which I had removed from my disk, and I'm facing the same problem: the KDE desktop overlaps the screen size, and rolls in every direction when I move the mouse. Of course, I've tried to change every option I could in the YaST2 control centre (not easy when the display is always moving) but nothing does. I suppose this is a very trivial problem in relation with my complete ignorance of Linux but, as I am still willing to discover Linux, could someone tell me how to fix that (if possible without buying another display adapter)? I'd like to discover a bit more about Linux than just installing it :-) Thanks in advance. Jean-Jacques
