Monitor out of range.

[RandomUsr]

I fixed my prior booting issues, however, now my monitor tells me it's out of range when booting OpenSuse normally. I can get into failsafe, but nearly all changes cause issues with X and or KDE. What I mean by that is the xserver becomes slow and/or sluggish, and the mouse may stop functioning if I make changes. This can be corrected by reverting to a very generic VESA Setting of 1024x768 or lower. I think the refresh rate is 60 hz under that setting.

anyone know how to correct this so I might boot to OpenSuse with a working monitor. But not in Failsafe?

Which Graphics Card do you have?
Execute this

cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep "Driver"
su -
lspci | grep "VGA"

Post output here.

For some reason I was unable to save a .txt file to my XP drive. Alas, the output states the card is a Nvidia 7300 LE.

pci 1, 0, 0

Driver "nv"


that's all I got. the monitor works fine in Mint...."ubuntu variant"

and I find I have no Network connection, although ifconfig says otherwise

Mint comes with restricted Driver pre-installed. You have to install it in SuSe.

Do i need network capabilities for apt-get? If so, then i'm sol because intel doesn't provide support for the DG965WH board. They do, however on their Executive Series Boards, of which mine is not. It's a Media Series board. oh well. what are my options for downloading the drivers? short of using a livecd to download them to the Suse partition?

BTW, Don't I have to use Yast for that? J/C

[devils casper]

My mistake. You should YAST only. apt-get is for Debian based distros. nvidia-glx-new is not available in Installation Media. You can download it manually but you might run into dependency problems.
