I have an 20" 1600x1200 resolution TFT monitor connected to my computer. I have openSUSE 11.2 and use nvidia binary driver, compiled from/by the nvidia binary installer (not the opensuse version).

When I boot the system openSUSE boots nicely in console. The boot resolution is set to 1024x768 in 16 bit mode (by VGA= kernel boot option). X windows starts without problem as well in 1600x1200 24 bit mode. But when I try to change to terminal mode (ctrl+alt+F1) the monitor gives "out of frequency" message and does not display the terminal stuff.

The question is why it is like that, and how I could fix it?

try changing the VGA=### to VGA=0x31a or VGA=0x31b

mine is set to 0x31a.

Hi, Patrick: Mine is set to vga=791 (ie 0x317). My monitor has 4:3 side ratio, not 5:4. 0x31a or 0x31b sets 1280x1024 resolution, 5:4 ratio. Why do you think it would help? Nevertheless I will give a try when I get back to that machine. Thanks, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
