Hello all,

A while back, I installed SUSE 9.3 on an extra box, because I had the extra box to do so......

I wasnt living at home at the time, and the monitor i used to install it was ANCIENT (this thing had to be 3' x 3' and weighed 70 pounds).......Newayz, the monitor was old, and when I installed *nix, everything worked just fine....
then, i moved, and tried to run my *nix box using a diferent monitor, and POOF.....

when I boot up, after the bios and OS selection screens, it says its loading hardware, and then loading devices, and then as soon as begins to switch to the login screen for SUSE, my monitor shuts off for a second, and then says "video mode not supported".

I am able to run a command line enviornment, but I cannot run a GUI enviornment...

so my question, how do I get my monitor to function properly in the GUI ?

note, ive tried several monitors and all end up with the same, or similar, problems (some just go to the yellow LED, as if its getting no signal, and others say 'video mode not supported'). Unfortunatly, the ancient large monitor has since been trashed, and using it is not an option.....also, i have very little *nix knowledge, so be tender with me ;-)

your help is greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance.
