[clue-tech] Cannot even get Linux installed

[Adam bultman]

Hi, Matt.

"Out of Range" errors are typically a result of too high a refresh rate, 
or too high a resolution.

By default, SuSE should be smart enough not to try to use a resolution 
that is too high, although I have seen it before. You may want to try a 
text-mode install, or check to see if there is a way you can force a 
lower refresh rate/resolution in the installer.  I personally don't know 
how that's done, since I'm not a SuSE person, but at least you know what 
your problem is now.
