Hi Yuriy,

I see that the monitor has a nonstandard resolution. You need to find 
how to configure a nonstandard monitor in SUSE. Some things to try:

1: Try a Live CD distribution to test that it is possible to 
autoconfigure it. For example, Knoppix, Ubuntu[1].

2: Search in the Documentation of SUSE how to configure manually the 
monitor. You may search for similar models (most important thing is 
similar monitors) in TuXMobil.org [2]. They may provide a Xorg.conf or 
XF86Config file that you can put in /etc/X11/ (do this at your own risk, 
you may break the screen). Other interesting places (why is this not in 
a FAQ of this list?) are Toshiba Europe Installation Info[3] and Toshiba 
Japan Linux Info[4] (I have seen your laptop there). Finally, try Google.

3: Report the bug[5]. It should autoconfigure the monitor, and thus, it 
is a bug. Even if you find a solution through other means, it would be 
nice that you report the bug, so SUSE developers and users know how you 
solved the issue. Important files to attach to the bug report are 
/etc/X11/xorg.conf (or /etc/X11/XF86Config) and /var/log/Xorg.0.log (or 
something similar to this).

If you try the Ubuntu LiveCD and find the same problem, please report it 
in our bug tracking system [6] (5 minutes of your time at most). If you 
do it let me know.

Thanks and good luck,

	Manuel.
