Hi Gore,

Like i said, I had the extra box to install SuSe, so thankfully theres nothing there.....period....

I'm at work, but i'll try that as soon as I get home...and yes, every bit is experience that may come in handy someday......when im an ub3r 1337 h4x0r ;-)

.......or when my next *nix box decides to be non-monitor friendly....

again, thanks....I'll let you know how it goes....

also, i found this site while searching @ work today....if the last suggestion you gave me is of no help (or if I get too lost hehee) i'll give them a hollar too.....

Or, i might just re-install SuSe with the new monitor already attached........like I said, theres nothign there to lose...of course, theres no knowledge to be gained that route, so thats a last option....
