OS: Suse 9.0 and 9.1 Monitor: IBM 7574
Both were originally installed with smaller monitors.
This is an IBM Industrial Graphics Monitor and is not listed in the YaST list of monitors. I've tried everything I can think of to define it so the GUI (KDE) sreen uses all of the screen area; currently it looks like a 17" dipaly area with rather large black borders. Character screens use all of it just fine.
Does that include feeding the exact monitor characteristics to YaST / Sax2? If you can establish those with a suitable web search / manual trawl, and feed them into the monitor details boxes, you *ought* to be able to get it to behave ... try googling any 'maker's plate' numbers off the back - there are lots of pages devoted to monitor specs.
What am I missing here?
Dunno ...
How can I restart the GUI (so changes take effect) without rebooting the system? Issue 'init3' and then 'init5' as root. Though does KDM not have the 'restart xserver' option on it somewhere, saving you the bother? it once did at least.
Thank you, Lucky Leavell
