I know this has to be a problem with X, but i can't determine how to interact with the computer to fix it. On earlier versions of SuSE booting under LILO there used to be a line under boot options giving you choice of video resolution, but I sure can't find anything like that now.
So, can anyone tell me the way around this so he can begin using Linux at home (maybe we can get the division converted).
Just a thought: you could try editing /usr/sbin/hwbootscan so the X probe looks like /usr/sbin/hwscan --boot --gfxcard --monitor In theory, that should launch sax2 if the machine boots with a different monitor than was configured. Untested, but worth a shot I think
