Hey
i just put linux on my old comp, to try and make it usable again. ive got it fully installed and working, but im trying to set up XFree86 using SaX (ive got SuSE 7.0) and everything works, but not when it tries to configure the X server. when it does that, the screen appears, but its really really small and is in a little band across the middle. Ive got an auto-detected video card, so thats ok, but ive got a really really old Dell DPV-1 monitor. HOW DO I MAKE IT WORK, HELP!!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH IN ADVANCE!!!!
