I found a potential solution at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1321224 It is described in post #5 from rhythmiccycle. It did not work for me on my Sandybridge notebook which is not running opensuse, but it *did* work on my OS11.4 machine which features Intel X4500 chipset graphic that uses the same graphics driver as Sandybridge. The mode that I added on the X4500 machine was available for selecting via KDE System Settings' display/monitor adjustments. If this also works for you we will need to find a way to make this mode addition persistent across reboots. Given that X performs mode autodetection at each startup the new mode will not be available after a reboot. Configuring a proper xorg.conf that overrides autodetection may help but before digging into this first try the above if it works for you to set your desired resolution. /k.-h. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
