When booting off the CD, the frame buffer is enabled and YaST2 starts in
graphical mode. However, it does not use the optimal screen resolution of
1400x1050 for my Thinkpad T42, the resolution seems to be somewhat lower (the
TFT scales it, so the display is blurred). It added "vga=0x317" to the kernel
boot options in grub's menu.lst, so this seemed to have been the resolution it
chose. "0x342" would have been the correct value.

This is the output of "hwinfo --monitor/--gfxcard" out of the running system:
