Same problem, but this solution didn't work
My wife has a Dell Inspiron 2600 laptop which we recently put SuSE 10.0 on (same as I'm running). When you try to switch from one active session to another without logging out, or try to adjust any of the display properties such as the display size, the same thing happens: I get a weird flow of colours across the whole screen which gradually fades to black... then nothing ever comes back until you turn it off and turn it back on. I tried what troutwaxer suggested, because a friend who was trying to help also thought it was the refresh rates. But the problem persists. In YaST, under the X11 monitor config (as well as in the XF86Config file), it lists the monitor as "--> VESA 600X800". Shouldn't a Dell device be installed instead? And if so, which one? I know the Dell part # for the LCD in it, but cannot find a device name anywhere, and Dell's customer service is a joke. It's part # 6H291. Please Help!
