Suse With Viewsonic A90f+


I just installed Suse and Sax2 does not have an entry for the viewsonic A90f+ monitor. The A90 driver is there but no A90f+. Any ideas what I should do? Should I manually set the refresh rates and what not?

"Should I manually set the refresh rates and what not?"

Yes. I am in the same situation with a different monitor. sax2 does not have my model listed. I set the monitor up using the specs in the pamphlet that came with my monitor and I got it working the second try.

Yeah I set the refresh rates manually but I can only get it to go 24bit color mode. Whats up with that? I want 32bit!

There is a limit to the amount of detail that your video memory can handle. You may be pushing the limit. Try lower resolution and more colors.
