I am a newbie but my monitor is doing some what of the same thing but my monitor displays out of range... After doing some research I am to find that I have settings all messed up some where.... Recommendations to play with the monitor settings in /etc/X11/XF86config

Also said to try using the command Sux2 -r

it is suppose to startup the linux configuration but really don't know much on the subject...

I think the file meant was /etc/X11/xorg.conf (unless one is using a real old version of SuSE). Some time back there was a software fork from xfree86 to xorg, and hence the config file now is xorg.conf.

And I think the command intended is not "Sux2 -r" but rather is "sax2 -r". Note this is case sensitive, and you need to type "su" in a separate line, before typing "sax2", in order to get root permissions for "sax2".

Glad you responded because I went to edit the wrong file that wasn't even there... along with the sax2 command... whew, Thanks oldcpu!!!

Can you tell us more about your hardware and software on your PC, so we can provide better recommendations? Please, while logged in from a text prompt, type the following, and cut-and-paste the output here on this forum:

uname -a
cat /etc/SuSE-release
cat /proc/cpuinfo
su (enter root password)
sax2 -p

Thanks.
