Darrell,  I have a voodoo card, used to have the same problems with
screen when I used sax under SUSE. However, using Mandrake 7.2 or Redhat
7.0 I have no problem, correctly sets everything  up.  I have managed to
get a screen under SuSE 7.0 but the sides are curved, like black orange
segments and I can't fine tune out of it.
                                                    Peter
