Yes, Suse 9.1. I wonder if it is just a Suse problem. As Richard Balthazor 
says in another post on this subject, Knoppix is capable of resolving the 
problem, and, though I have not tried it, I expect that Windows allows you to 
install with an LCD scree???

OK to all above, but I think it is a case of the PC not putting out data fast 
enough for the monitor. 

Anyway the easiest way round the problem seems to be to follow Richards 
suggestion. In effect this is what I did when I got the LCD in the first 
place. My CRT was set at a resolution acceptable to the LCD all I had to do 
was fine tune sax2.

Many thanks for the help boys.
