In order to set your screen to a particular resolution, Linux has a safety feature installed so that you cannot over run the max resolution. This is set by the configuration of your Graphics Card and your Monitor. Generally the graphics card is set up nicely if it works, it is just the monitor which has been defaulted to "800x600 default".

Unfortunately i do not know SuSE, but you need to reconfigure your hardware from some control centre or otherwise and select the appropriate monitor. If your monitor does not appear on the list, and you cannot find a driver from phillips configure it manually as follows.

Firstly, start up in single-user mode (console based).

[code:1]
Login: Seb
Password:

[seb@shadowfax seb]$ cd
[seb@shadowfax seb]$
&#91;seb@shadowfax seb&#93;$ cp /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 ~/ <makes a back up to your home directory>

&#91;seb@shadowfax seb&#93;$ su
Password&#58;
&#91;root@shadowfax seb&#93;$ xf86config

[/code:1]

This will launch you into the configuration of the x-server. Please note that this will configure EVERYTHING, including mouse, keyboard, gfx card and monitor. You can use the gui "xf86cfg" but i dont know how this works.

IMPORTANT!
if you screw anything up the way to restore your configuration is as follows:

[code:1]
&#91;root@shadowfax seb&#93;$ cp XF86Config-4 /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
[/code:1]
(from your home directory)

Now when you are configuring the x-server, make sure that you know all of the details of your monitor, such as vsync and hsync. Everything that you need is generally in the back of the monitor manual. If you dont have it, then get the info of the web and print it.

hope it all goes well
