1st problem: this is no big deal, i just need to find out how to slow the mouse wheel down 2nd problem: now this is weird, in the monitors OSD you can resize the view, and if you move the view too far up the top of the screen starts overlapping itself and is also very bright at the top of the screen but moving the view down doesn't reduce the "overlap" and during Suse install you can change the dimensions of the desktop view i thought just changing the dimensions of the desktop view would fix it, it did when i got the same problem in Windows Edit: problem doesn't appear on screen shots because a screen shot show the whole desktop
thankies for the suggestion, i dont have a digital camera and camera phone is crap & i don't have a webcam, will boot into Suse and try taking a pic of screen in a while
