I installed openSuse 11.4 x64 on my parents' Dell Dimension E521. It has a problem in that the monitor blanks out to black about every 45 seconds or so for about 1-2 seconds. The cpu is an AMD Athlon 64 x2 Dual Core Processor 3800+. The video is provided by a ATI Radeon X1300/1550 RV516. I have installed the legacy driver for ATI but that didn't help. spec sheet from Dell says you have: Nvidia integrated video (DirectX 9.0 Shader Model 3.0 Graphics Processing Unit) or optional PCI Express x16 graphics card http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/dime521/en/SM_EN/specs.htm Anyone have any ideas how to fix this? does it really have an ATI card? If so maybe ask Dell why and request/demand NVidia replacement :^)
