    Smile Video Mode not Supported

    Hello Everyone,
    I had this problem when I changed to a new LCD monitor. The screen is black with this message "Video Mode not Supported". Briefly the Hardware and Software details are:
    1. SUSE 10
    2. Dell Poweredge 1430
    3. Hyundai ImageQuest L705.

    Now I did try to configure “xf86config” but I don't think I am doing something right here. Also, since I am new to SUSE so I don't know much about it config issues.

    Help will certainly be appreciated


    Mary Christmas EVERYONE

    hmm,
    try sax instead of sax2. Also make sure you have logged in as the root user. And does running sax2 give you any errors?

    yes it is run from the command line... and make sure you are running it as root and not as yourself.
