Gore, This ones for you


So, I'm trying to go full Linux and I happened try SUSE once before and liked it. Especially, since I had a really hard time with Solaris......anyway SUSE actually installed with a decent resolution and sound. Something that Solaris apparently had a really hard time with. However, it didn't have the right resolutions for my hardware. After doing some serious research, I managed to install the latest Nvidia 295.33 proprietary driver through the use of SANDI. But for some reason resolution was still a problem. I tried to edit my xorg.conf file and I managed to get a decent resolution but none that my monitor supported. I read somewhere that it may be mistaken my LCD for a CRT. I am using a dvi to vga adapter which might be causing problems, I'm not too sure. If I can find a loose dvi cable around somewhere I'll give that a go and see what happens. But so far I am kinda stumped. I have a little Linux experience, but I'm no guru.

My hardware consist of:
AMD Phenom x4 955
4gbs of ddr2 ram
700gb sata hdd
onboard Nvidia Geforce 8200 but registers as 9200??
Nvidia Geforce 8800gt

This board uses a Hybrid SLI system, so I dont know if that might mess anything up or not.

BTW. My goal here is to have no reason to dual boot windows.......lol
