Hi all,

SuSE 10.3 is not using the full screen of Acer AL1516W monitor. It
looks fine during the boot (i.e. the boot splash spread the entire
sceern) but from the login screen onwards only virtical middle region
of the screen is used, leaving a band of black unused screen on each
side. The recomended resolution of my screen is 1280X800@60Hz. I was
unable to find my model in the list of monitor manufacturer under Acer
-- so I am using VESA.

How can I get to use the entire screen?
Please help.

Bikram

This is almost always related to the video chipset. So first find
out what video chip is in your machine and start from there.
Google is your friend in this.

There seems to be a lot of this problem going around lately.
