Iv got a VIA EPIA-M motherbord with embeded graphiccard, and that should be a VIA Apollo CLE266, but im not a 100% sure.

and if that it is that i dont have the drivers, how do i install i in opensuse?

I checked the VIA website. They have Linux drivers; but not for your card. I’m not sure if your card is built into the kernel or not :frowning: Maybe someone with more experience than I would be able to help you out.

Does this also happen when you log into a different DE? Or when you create a different user?

Cheers!

Can you test the monitor on another PC to rule out lcd-pixel or crt-retrace failure? Does it happen as you boot (pressing ESC during boot)? If it does, I would strongly lean towards video card failure or monitor failure as in that mode you are using lowest base resolution (standard bios text mode).
