Hello again,
Just a note to tell you I have resolved the problem.
Yast hadn't supplied a monitor name and being a laptop I had no idea
what monitor should be listed. I chose a Samsung monitor at random
since I had seen the word "Samsung" in the Xorg.0.log file and that
seems to make the X system happy.
Thanks for looking at this, Merv
Hi.,
I loaded SuSE v.11.1 on an Acer Aspire 5516.
All the startup and shutdown splash screens use the full display area
(16x9), but the X window system will only use the center (4x3) region.
I suspect I need to add the proper driver to xorg.conf, but I haven't
been able to determine which one I should use.
Late in xorg.conf it specifies this driver: Driver "radeonhd"
The "Display Size" parameter is properly set at 344 193 (a 16x9 ratio).
Any help or pointers to help would be greatly appreciated.
Here's a portion of the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file.
(II) Setting vga for screen 0.
(**) RADEONHD(0): Depth 24, (--) framebuffer bpp 32
(**) RADEONHD(0): Option "DRI"
(**) RADEONHD(0): Selected XAA 2D acceleration.
(II) RADEONHD(0): Unknown card detected: 0x791F:0x1025:0x0213.
If - and only if - your card does not work or does not work
optimally
please contact radeonhd@opensuse.org to help rectify this.
Use the subject: 0x791F:0x1025:0x0213: <name of board>
and *please* describe the problems you are seeing
in your message.
