SUSE/VESA Video Modes

The SuSE X.org configuration tool SaX2 generates video modes using modeline entries in the X.org configuration file. These video modes do not correspond exactly with VESA video mode timing (even when a VESA monitor is selected). The Dominion KSX, on the other hand, relies on exact VESA mode timing for proper synchronization. This disparity can result in black borders, missing sections of the picture, and noise.

To configure the SUSE video display:

  1. The generated configuration file /etc/X11/xorg.conf includes a Monitor section with an option named UseModes. For example,
    UseModes "Modes[0]"
  2. Either comment out this line (using #) or delete it completely.
  3. Restart the X server.

With this change, the internal video mode timing from the X server will be used and will correspond exactly with the VESA video mode timing, resulting in the proper video display on the Dominion KSX.
