But firstly you must understand that the resolution you get when first booting and getting the grub menu may NOT be the final resolution which you will get when you actually login as User into oS. I cannot really explain this difference in resolution but I will just simply state that while my monitor can handle a resolution of 2560x1940 the grub boot menu shows up in (?)1920x1080 resolution.
grub2 relies on video card BIOS, so it can only support resolutions that video card exports via BIOS (probably VESA). You can check it in grub2 using "videoinfo" command (press 'c' in grub2 menu to enter command line).
The 1920x1080 resolution is set in YaST by configuring the bootloader parameters while the actual monitor's resolution is set elsewhere - but in case with having 1920x1080 resolution you won't have to worry about this. So......
I cannot say where yast gets proposed values (i.e. do they have any relation to real hardware or just hardcoded list of standard VESA modes). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
