Installed SUSE 9.3 w/ 15" LCD, then swapped to 17" LCD... res limited to 1024x

[Frank Davenport]

My experience with SuSe 9.3 Pro is the system does not detect hardware 
changes at boot.  At least not like the "other OS".  The GUI utility I use 
to fiddle with video stuff is called SaX2.  You must be root to run it, but 
resolution, hardware changes etc. are all done there.  It's pretty 
straightforward.
