There ain't no one in the sun-lit uplands! there are those who think they are 
in the sun-lit uplands  more commonly known as 'Billy no Mates'

what was the problem with your Fedora 2 install? can you be more specific?
"A big black void" is a little vague, hmm no its not, its useless as 
description :-)

The top and bottom seems to be your monitor is not supported but thats not 
strictly true as you should be able to get away with a generic monitor 
driver. 

What is the graphics card?

I'm a little confused by your ending paragraph you say everything is fine 
apart from you get a VGA warning but then go on to say you have been 
'fiddling with Yast but to no avail'.

What are you trying to do/download?

I use Fedora 2 and Suse 9.1 Pro :-)
