    Red face Suse 9.0 resolution display problem

    Hi,
    I just installed Suse 9.0 after failing miserably to get Suse 10 to work, so I have this problem with my screen resolution which is all big and fuzzy looking, could one of you gurus help me figure out what exactly I need to do here?

    Here's my FX86Config file:

    Thanks a lot!

    Set Driver value to vesa in XFree86.conf file and reboot machine.
    Code:
    Section "Device"
  BoardName    "i845"
  BusID        "0:2:0"
  Driver       "vesa"
  Identifier   "Device[0]"
  VendorName   "Intel"
EndSection

    Thanks but...

    I had actually already tried that, by looking around at other forums, and it didn't like it. Does it matter whether vesa is entered in upper or lower case? It probably does, huh? I put it all in upper case and it didn't work.


    Thanks.

    Yes. It does matter. vesa should be in lower case only.

    No go!

    Hey guys, me again.
    Well, I gave up on Suse 9.0 and decided to brave 10.0 again though I did not have any success with this display problem. I continue to get these errors:

    (EE) I810: No video BIOS modes for chosen depth
    (EE) Screen(s) found but have not usable configuration

    XIO: fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on Xserver ":0.0" after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.

    I'm trying to pull the XF86Config file off the box but I can't it's all in text mode and I can't even mount the floppy drive on this thing to copy the file. So I was hoping someone would know exactly what these errors mean and how they can be fixed.

    Thanks
