[opensuse] openSUSE 10.3 -> 11.0 upgrade issues
Hi All, I was to lazy to do a fresh install (i should have learnt my leasson by now that upgrades never seem to work as planned) 1. As "root" i can set my screen resolution for 1028*768 quite happily but as an ordinary user is always resets back to 1024*768. Sax2 runs ok, allows me to select what i want but when XFine runs the test screen it shows the selection incorrectly as 1024*768. The test screen image does appear to have changed to my 1280 selection because of the size of the mouse pointer. I save it ok and exit Yast2 but the screen res is still 1024 even after a logout/login. When logged out the screen res seems to be the one i want (1280*768) but as soon as KDE(3.5.9) loads it resets it back to 1024*768. Anyone have any ideas why this doesn't work while logged in as a user but using Yast2 as "su"? 2. openSUSE updater - as "root" it works fine but as an ordinary user it doesn;t have access to any backends and fails. Do i need to config it somewhere to allow a user to run the Updater?

No, but you might compare the current /etc/X11/xorg.conf to your old one. Or try using sax from runlevel 3.

I think somebody asked about this already, search the archive. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

I think somebody asked about this already, search the archive. All i could find was someone else reporting the issue but no resolution to it. I'll keep looking.
