ok i got the driver and installed it as you suggested went well. BUT i still cannot change resolutions higher than 800x600 and in kde, configure - desktop / display it is showing oHz as the refresh rate. and in yast, card and monitor properties the sync freq's are correct.....
I did a google search and found this( you might not need to put your old monitor on, since you can use the new one): Connect your old monitor to the box. Open X-windows, at a terminal type "system-config-display" When the "DISPLAY SETTINGS" window comes up (you might have to enter the root password), go to HARDWARE and select "Generic LCD Display" with whatever resolution your LCD display supports. Then in the Display Settings window go back to the first tab and select the resolution for your new LCD. After your screen size has changed, disconnect your monitor and connect your LCD. Can't promise this will work since I don't have your hardware here to test, but this is how I would do it. ----------------------------------------------- and this thread also: http://forums.suselinuxsupport.de/index.php?showtopic=21325 Installation on my Inspiron 1100 laptop running a Syntax USB-400 Wireless LAN Adaptor did not need configuration as SUSE saw it and configured it during setup, this was not the case with 9.3. SUSE 10 DID recognize my DELL E173FP monitor for my Dimension 3000 by make and model, and automatically configured the on-board graphics chip to 1280X1024 with the proper i865 driver right out of the gate (in 9.3, it didn't recognize the FP by exact make & model (no problem though), it only had the i810 driver, and preconfigured the resolution to 800X600 (no problem though, I just had to adjust it to 1280X1024 during installation) . ----------------------------- did you go to init 3 and run sax2 ??? to configure it?? -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800
