SUSE 9..1 on an Armada m700

[Frank E. Friedman]

Two things:

the first is a request.  Is it possible to add the [COLUG] to the subject
line?  I have a filter setup to move all COLUG related emails to a specific
folder.  Since the email list or server was rebuilt (or whatever happened),
the [COLUG] in the subject line has not occured.  

The second:
I am trying to install SUSE 9.1 Personal (via the internet) on a Compaq Armada
m700.  The Graphics card is a ATI Rage P/M Mobility AGP 2x.  The problem is
that the display (which is set to 1024x768) has a horizontal "dead zone" (for
lack of a better word or phrase) across the upper portion of the screen.  The
dead zone is approximately 3/4-inch thick.  I cannot move my mouse or any
windows across this dead zone.  

Here is the best way to describe what I am seeing:
1 - take a photograph that is approximate the size of a monitor.  
2 - Take a pair of sissors and make a horizontal cut across the top of the
picture (two to three inches from the top).
3 - Right now, you have two pieces of the picture, which when next to each
other, you have a nice photograph.  Now, seperate each piece of the photograph
from eachother by 3/4 of an inch.  That 3/4 of an inch seperating each piece
of the photograph is my dead zone.  

Has anyone come across something like this before?  ANy ideas on how to fix
it?  thanks in advance for any help/suggestions/advice.

Frank
