I have installed Suse 11.4 on my new laptop, an Acer Aspire 7551G. According to Acer's product description the computer has a WSXGA Display with 1600x900 pixels. My X runs well, but I have the impression that it uses a smaller resolution than 1600x900.
What size is that screen?
It's a 17.3 inch screen that has a native resolution of 1600x900.
So I have two questions:
1. How can I determine the resolution used by my X?
1-Load in a web browser http://fm.no-ip.com/Auth/dpi-screen-window.html and/or 2-Open KInfoCenter -> Xserver and/or 3-'xdpyinfo | grep dime'
2. In case it is lower, how can I force X to use 1600x900 px?
Really hard to answer that without knowing the output of 'lspci | grep vga' and/or output from 'hwinfo --gfxcard'.
Why start so complex? Can't we just start simple, and use the tools provided by the desktop manager? Or have I missed something? Open the Display configuration and look at what it's set to. In KDE4 for example go to: KMenu > Configure Desktop > Hardware > Display and Monitor > Size & Orientation What does it say there? Does it say 1600x900? If not, can you set it to the right resolution? Gnome's path is similar, and the result should be the same...
