[Scottish] SuSe 10 Installation

[ray]

Rob,

This is the Linux version of "Plug and Pray Hell".  Your monitor has claimed 
that it can display whatever your graphics adaptor will throw at it when it 
can't. The "Input signal out of range." message is coming from the monitor. 
Mostly I see this from (older) fixed resolution LCD monitors. Really old CRTs 
do not normally show any message.

This is nearly right, but Sax2 with SuSE10.0 has 800x600 at 75Hz as its --lowres 
mode. Check out 'sax2 --help'. 
sax2 --vesa 0:640x480 at 60
will start sax2 with a standard vga screen
 If you know the monitor and graphics card specifications you can try e.g.
sax2 --vesa 0:1024x800 at 70

If you have a modern-ish multi-sync vdu you could use that to get a working 
graphics system and then yast2|sax2 to configure for the target monitor.

P.S. You might get better answers quicker if you gave out a bit more 
information initially. E.g. this is a display problem, but we do not know 
what monitor and graphics adaptor you are using.
