Tnx Maillion, interesting page... Danleff, I checked on a couple HCL pages, URLs: http://www.linuxquestions.org/hcl/index.php http://www.collaborium.org/onsite/venezuela/docs/linux/Linux_HOWTOS/PDF/Hardware-HOWTO.pdf I couldn't find anything about monitors, but about my graphics card said it is compatible, at least with RH and Mandrake 9.1, compatibility rating was 10, anothing about SuSE... It seems ATI cards have been always a headache anyway I will leave tonite the PC downloading the Knoppix, will tell you what happens linuxdave

Tnx Danleff, I have dual feelings about, this, my dual OS project if is the SuSE, pity 'cause pof what I have read, seems that SuSE is the best or the one that better looks to me. On the other side, I don´t want to buy another monitor.... Any suggestions for a site where I can download the other distros? linuxdave

I have the live eval CD of SuSE Linux 8.1 that came with a magazine. I made the boot disk, and the modules disks, configuration goes OK, except for stepping over printer detection because the PC freezes. After finishing configuration the last line of text I read is something like welcome to SuSE linux and then the monitor blacks out and a window of "power management" shows with a count down to turn off the monitor and says that the monitor is working out of frequency range (30 to 70 KHz) and it shows 79.9KHz. That is close to the top limit (80KHz) of my Graphics card (ATI Rage 128). The monitor is a LG Studioworks 775N. The PC is PIII - 800Mhz. 128MB RAM. What can I do? I am eager to try Linux. I wonder also if it is possible to install the SuSE CD in the PC, I have partitioned the HD in 3 parts: a 10GB (C where I have Windows 98SE and all programs and two 5GB parts (D: and E that are empty now. Sure is better to run the Linux from the HD instead of the CD-ROM Drive tnx linuxdave
