I've just ordered a new PC that will come from Dell, with a 17"
"Ultrasharp 1704FPT" digital LCD display. I intend to install SuSE 9.1
on this machine, as a dual Windows XP/SuSE machine (I have
used SUSE 7.1 before, but 9.1 is new to me; But I have it onhand
already).
BUT, now I am gathering that SuSE does not have very good (if at all?)
LCD display support .. can anyone verify or tell me otherwise if that
is true??
Originally posted by barrys No problems with lcd on 9.1, but you do have to use Yast to shift the screen a little.
Mandrake has no problems with this, but SuSE does seem to need adjustment.
I had the same problem on my LCD. I used the configuration utility to shift it to the left 1 click. I didn't even notice until I was switching between my 3 different boxes with my KVM and noticed that it was off a bit.
Distribution: K/Ubuntu 18.04-14.04, Scientific Linux 6.3-6.4, Android-x86, Pretty much all distros at one point...

Rep:
SAX2 is good for adjusting the screen. Also, make sure you know your LCD screen's specs before installation. Additionally, most newer LCDs come with an auto-adjust feature that may be necessary, especially when doing resolution changing (1024x768>800x600 and back again, etc.). Look for your screen's listing under SAX2, or another which is just like it (many manufacturers slap different brand names on the same unit for different retail channels).
