IF this is your challenge also then this fix is good for as long as the Monitors db doesn't change. You may have to add your monitor's specs into the Monitors db but that shouldn't be too hard.

As I mentioned in my message, I got it to work in the end, by using the manufacturer cd option in yast. My gripe is that an operating system that you pay 89€ for and that is marketed as "at least as easy to install and use" as Windows should at least provide an approximate working graphical mode that you can fine tune later, particularly since the piece of kit that is causing the problem is a TFT screen that now comes standard with most new computers. I have been using SuSE since 5.3, and have been linux only for five years now, but this had me bugged for some time. Happy New Year to everyone. FX
