I've just installed OpenSUSE 10.3 on my Sony Vaio VGN-NR21M laptop, which 
has a 1280x800 screen.

However, when I boot up normally, the X screen comes up at 800x600 in the 
top left corner, and is repeated
below (as if tiled) up to the full screen height. The right-hand side just 
stays black, although between the two
copies of the screen is a white line going across the full width.

The hardware info screen reports the monitor as 800x600, and if I run SaX2 
to set the correct screen resolution and
dimensions manually, it reverts to 800x600 when I click on Test.

However (and this is the interesting bit)... if I boot into the Xen 
kernel, the screen displays correctly at 1280x800.
Normally this wouldn't be a big deal, but I do need to test some stuff 
under VMware as well as Xen, and the two
don't get on, so I really do need the default kernel to be working at the 
correct resolution. 800x600 sucks!

Anybody seen this before, or know what's causing it?
