LCD displays have only one native resolution and that is the only truly
optimal resolution. Why in the world would you want to use only 1024 of
1680 columns or 768 of 1050 rows?
You can use YaST or sax2 to configure the monitor settings.
There have been several postings in recent weeks about these issues.
Search in your mailbox or in the on-line list archive for LCD.

Define "fuzzy display." It's probably just that you're not driving the
monitor within it's limits. Again, LCD displays generally have a much
narrower range of scan frequencies to which they will sync.
