This LCD monitor is shown in the VESA video timing list by default, incorrect aspect ratio, dimensions, resolution and wrong H-Frequency/V-Frequency. Sax2 monitor database didn't have it listed under Acer. Initially, it was shown under VESA list but should have been under LCD.

Manually added and tweaked: H-Frequency: 31kHz-83kHz V-Frequency: 56-75Hz, Dimensions: Size: 20.0" Wide, 481(width) x 375(height)
openSUSE 11.1 default settings after installation showed "1280x1024" resolution. Reran SaX2 and selected "1680x1050". Graphics card used: Nvidia GeForce 8600GTS

Update
Since the release of openSUSE 11.2, the monitor is now autodetected. It is listed under ACR rather than Acer. H-Frequency: 31kHz-83kHz and V-Frequency: 56-75Hz.

Acer X223W Icon-checked.png 1680x1050 10.4 Incorrect resolution during install, fixed automatically after install.
Asus [1] PB279Q Icon-question.png 3840x2160 13.2 Set by monitor menu to DP 1.2 to enable 60Hz 3840x2160. Stable operation with NVidia GTX750Ti (x11-video-nvidiaG04).
Asus VW222S Icon-cross.png 1680x1050 10.3 Detected with incorrect settings, this monitor is shown by Sax2 as Vesa 1280x1024@60Hz. Changed it to LCD 1680x1050 and set: H-Frequency: 31kHz-80kHz V-Frequency: 56-75Hz, Size: 22.2" Wide. With this settings the monitor works fine. (NVidia 8600GT)
Asus MW221U Icon-cross.png 1680x1050 11.0 When Yast is asked to configure it as a generic 1680x1050 LCD, it accepts that input, but does NOT take it into account and pretends to give a 1600x1024 screen on the test screen, which gives fuzzy characters and screen distortion as well. Moreover, the screen OSD says that the real resolution used is in fact 1240x1024 :-( (NVidia 7600GS)

Benq FP951 Icon-cross.png 800x600 11.0, 11.1 openSUSE uses 800x600 as default, claims to change to the default to 1280x1024 during install resulting in a nearly unreadable screen at 800x600. Installer detected properly at the start. Not selectable in Sax/YaST or thus far configurable. Only major distro that has had trouble with this monitor regardless of video card out of the box (ATI FireGL 3100 (RV37Q) 586+(PC IE))

Dell U2913WM Icon-question.png 2560x1080 42.3, 15.0, 15.1, Tumbleweed Only offers manual input selection among DisplayPort, DVI-D, HDMI and VGA. Includes DisplayPort MST (daisy-chain) output. Two inputs can be simultaneously displayed side-by-side. Due to its configurability it is easily made to output a different physical aspect ratio than expected, e.g. 2560x1080 resolution in a 16/9 physical space, or 1920x1080 in a 21/9 physical space (fullscreen).

Iiyama Prolite E2209HDS Icon-checked.png 1920x1080 11.3,11.4,12.1 D-Sub and DVI worked out of the box with most ATI and nVidia graphics cards under test. However "Input Not Supported" boot-time error messages appeared with a Radeon 9550 AGP card when connected via via D-Sub but all subsequent screens were OK. Connecting via DVI solved this problem completely. HDMI connection was not tested with openSUSE.

If detected as HDTV and starting in HDMI 1080p mode, follow the steps below to set the correct resolution.

  1. shutdown (required to fully reinitialize graphics output)
  2. connect flat panel to graphics card using old-fashioned vga (DSUB) cable
  3. start linux, login to X and start nvidia-settings
  4. run Acquire EDID and save edid.bin to some directory
  5. add the following line to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf in Section Device for graphics adapter:
  6. Option "CustomEDID" "DFP-0:/full/path/to/edid.bin"
    DFP-0 is Digital Flat Panel connected to 1st DVI connector on your nvidia card
  7. be sure to put proper path to edid.bin
  8. reboot

You must select a low resolution using F3 during installation, you can update the settings after installation.The default configuration possibilities given by SuSE are invalid and result in screwy display. I modified the "Monitor" section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf to read:


 Section "Monitor"
 DisplaySize  474 296
 HorizSync    30-81
 Identifier   "Monitor[0]"
 ModelName    "SAMSUNG SYNCMASTER 225BW"
 Option       "DPMS"
 VendorName   "SAM"
 VertRefresh  56-75
 Modeline     "1680x1050"  146.2 1680 1784 1960 2240 1050 1053 1059 1089
 EndSection

Also, replace all "Modes" entries in the "Screen" section (depending on what you've chosen before, e.g. "1280x1024") by "1680x1050". The section "Modes" which may be present and contain a modeline defining the mode you want to replace may be commented out or deleted.

Then after rebooting the computer the display was absolutely perfect. Be sure to make a back-up of the original xorg.conf file before making any modifications.

Brand Model Autodetected Resolution SUSE Linux Release Remark
Envision EN-780e Icon-checked.png 1024x768 10.0, 10.1 Refresh rate defaulted to 88Hz, max supported by monitor is 85. I didn't realize this, until over time the monitor was dying. First the display would jump from taking up the full screen to taking up more, or less than the full screen (the sides being expaded or cut off). Then one day, the monitor didn't work at all on this configuration, but did work under proper configuration.
LG F700B Icon-checked.png 1024x768 10.0 VertRefresh and HorizSync are incorrect, should be 50-160 for VertRefresh and 30-71 for HorizSync. Refresh rate is also incorrect, should be 85Hz for optimal 1024x768 resolution. I had to put # before "UseModes "Modes[0]"" line in xorg.conf to fix refresh rate.
