OK Update. I installed 11.2 from the kde live cd on a dell gx260. I have Internet and kde4. I am 4 hours into the install and cannot change the screen resolution beyond 800x600 on a 1440x900 flat screen, (there seems to be no option in Yast anymore to be able to do this)
1440x900 was the last of the common widescreen modes to arise, so the oldest of video BIOS won't have it included. A GX150 definitely is not 1440x900 capable in Windows, but IIRC is in openSUSE back around 11.0 or before, and thus should be for a GX260. I just tried sax2 on a GX260, and it locked up, forcing a hard reset to make usable again. http://fm.no-ip.com/tmp/SUSE/112/SaX.log-i845G-os112 Adding 'Option "NoRandr"' to xorg.conf did the same thing. X -configure trapped: http://fm.no-ip.com/tmp/SUSE/112/Xorg.0.log-gx260-os112-x-configure xorg.conf*i845G-os112 on http://fm.no-ip.com/tmp/SUSE/112/ all work on my GX260 with Dell/Trinitron CRT. I have to think you could re-comment the newest one appropriately for a 1440x900 display and have it work. I have no 1440x900 hardware to try. -- " We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion."
