Thanks for that deano
Tried running the su -c ‘init’ command in the last post on the thread but this stopped at reaching level three and twice did not progress any further.
Have also tried the generic LCD monitors with no success, unfortunately though I’ve been using SUSE / Linux a while I don’t know the ins and outs of the terminal too well.
However I have included the .etc/X11/xorg file below.
One other peice of info with UBUNTU running the same machine the screen resolution was 1100 and something x 867, not quite what it should be but clearer than SUSE.
Hope this means something to you
Mant thanks for your your help.
