Thank you for the tip. I will re-install SuSE and check that out.

No, it is not a laptop - it is a stand alone 17" TFT panel display. It plugs into a parallel port just like a normal monitor.
I assume you mean a VGA port.
I will have a look at what the video card is and select that. Maybe that is the answer.
It should be at least part of the answer. I believe TFT displays do have some special requirements that can affect Modeline entries, but I don't know the details. As you might imagine, they are most discussed in the context of laptops, where dealing with the quirks of LCD displays has been a requirement for years.
