Thanks for explaining this KVM concept.  It sounds nice, but no, i don't
have one of those.

Thanks to help from you and SuSE, i managed to follow the instructions
given to me by email from SuSE, and fixed the monitor problem!  It's
nice to be able to see the whole screen.  :)

It's working fine now, except for problems with OpenOffice 1.9, or
whatever version it is.  I'm going to try to download and install the
stable version of OpenOffice.
