Acer	AL2216W		1680x1050	11.0, 11.1	* May present issues with the refreshing speed/rate.
Acer	AL707		1280x1024	11.1
Acer	AL922		1280x1024 (probably much more)	9.2, 9.3, 10.0	in Sax2's monitor database as "ABO ACER AL922" since 10.0, horizontal:30-80 vertical:43-75
Acer	H233H		1920x1080	10.3, 11.0, 11.1, 11.2
Acer	K272HUL		2560x1440	42.3, 15.0, 15.1, Tumbleweed
Acer	X203W	autodetected 11.2 and higher	1680x1050	10.0, 10.1 10.2, 10.3 11.0 11.1 11.2 11.3 11.4 12.1 12.2 12.3 13.1 13.2 Leap, Tumbleweed	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		1680x1050	10.4	Incorrect resolution during install, fixed automatically after install.
Asus [1]	PB279Q		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		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		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	FP567		1024x768	10.0
Benq	FP91G X		1280x1024	11.2, 11.3
Benq	FP937s+		1280x1024	9.2, 9.3, 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3	openSUSE 10.3 uses 1024x768 for default. If 3D acceleration is activated 1280x1024 can be used. Perhaps it's a problem with the graphics card: G256P Connect3D ATI X1300XT 256 MB DVI/TV
Benq	FP951		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	1707FP		1280x1024	13.1 (x86_64)	Works perfectly fine, no issues that I could see.
Dell	2000FP		1600x1200	10.0, 10.2
Dell	2001FP		1600x1200	10.0, 10.1	Select the "DELL 2001FP (DIGITAL) in YaST config.
Dell	2001FP		1900x1200	10.0	VertRefresh incorrect, should be 56-60
Dell	2405fpw		1920x1200	42.3, 15.0, 15.1, Tumbleweed
Dell	3007WFPHC		2560x1600	11.2 (x86_64), 11.3 (x86_64)	incorrect resolution during install, fixed after install
Dell	u2414h		1920x1080	13.2, 42.1(Leap)
Dell	U2913WM		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).

HP	1702	at boot, but not as to the model and resolution	1280x1024	10.0, 10.1	Used generic LCD settings for 1280x1024. Does not allow rotate to portrait view. Works fine besides that

HP	L2045w		1680 x 1050	11.0	Using ATI 2400 Pro card. Required vendor setup disk (included) which somehow miraculously worked! Good at current resolution. Could probably go higher.
HP	W2408		1900 x 1200	11.1	Worked out of the box with radeonhd and also fglrx driver. Audio via HDMI works too, after tinkering

Iiyama	E1902WSV		1400x900	11.0	Resolution not supported by Nvidia drivers. Success by adding modeline Nd modes to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Iiyama	Prolite E2209HDS		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.

Samsung	931cw		1280x1024	10.3	You must select a low resolution using F3 during installation, you can update the settings after installation. Use VGA=normal in bootloader. I used LCD-->1280x1024 in sax2 but did not test widescreen resolutions.
Samsung	997DF SyncMaster			11.1	Horizontal: Vertical:
Samsung	2043BW		1680x1050	11.1 - 11.4
Samsung	206BW		800x600/1680x1050	10.3, 11.0, 11.1	Works fine if set to "-->LCD 1680X1050@60HZ"
Samsung	2232GW		800x600/1680x1050	10.2
Samsung	2220WM		800x600/1680x1050	11.0,11.1	Not autodetected and had to use a CRT monitor for the instalation of 11.0 & 11.1,because the frequency is not the recommended one (60Hz), so I used a CRT monitor to install the OS, but after installation it can be loaded from the disk it comes with
Samsung	225 BW		1680x1050	11.0	Required editing a text file. 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.
Samsung	226 NW/BW		1680x1050	NW: 10.2/10.3/11.0 BW: 10.3/11.0-3

Samsung	2493HM		1920x1200	11.1/11.2
Samsung	940NW		1440x900	10.3/11.0	None of sax2, nvidia-settings (test done with a 7600GS, NVidia proprietary driver) or YaST seem to work, so edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf, set ModeLine "1440x900" 106.5 1440 1520 1672 1904 900 901 904 932 and add the "1440x900" everywhere including Option "PreferredMode" "1440x900"
Samsung	SyncMaster P2270		1920x1080	12.1	Works out of the box.
Samsung	T260		1920x1200	11.1/11.2	WVXGA 16:10 Wide screen 25.5". Works well.
Yusmart	198IP	workable from previous CRT settings at boot	1440x900	10.1/10.2/10.3/11.00	Configure via Yast. Select generic LCD 1440x900. I had nVidia drivers installed for my graphics
Sharp	LL-M17W1U		1280x768	10.1	Autodected as a generic LCD. Inserting the utility disk and doing further configuration in Yast allows autodetection of the model as well
ViewSonic	VA1703wb		1400x900	11.0	Just run "sax2 -r" and reboot after the driver is installed.
ViewSonic	VA902b		1280x1024	10.1	After install and reboot, KDE outputs an unsupported signal. FYI: Monitor supports these Refresh Rates: Horizontal: 30~82kHz, Vertical: 50~85Hz. I found a solution... Will add it soon

Brand	Model	Resolution	SUSE Linux Release	Remark
Envision	EN-780e	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	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.
Philips	107T5	1024x768	10.1	No problems noted.
Samsung	SM997MB	1280x1024@73Hz 1920x1200@63Hz	10.0	lower resolutions are at 73Hz too, but maybe it can be configured somehow. (SM stands for SyncMaster)
Sony	CDP-420GS	1152x864@75Hz	9.2
Viewsonic	GA771	1280x1024@60Hz	11.1	Does not autodetect, but can be selected and works fine.
Viewsonic	PF77 OptiSync	1280x1024@60Hz	11.0, 11.1	Autodetected and works perfectly
