I suggest to boot into runlevel 3. Just add 3 to the boot prompt. Or if you login with ssh, after login type "unset DISPLAY", then "init 3" and then "sax2". -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Then I left my screen on and opened an SSH session. Running "sax2 over SSH spit different output to my SSH console than I got straight from the terminal and made the screen flicker a bit, but then it turned back to blue. I closed that SSH session, opened another and ran "sax2 -r" and some KDE windows appeared on my screen. However, the text is so large (about 8 letters across fit on the screen) that I cannot tell what is actually on the screen (probably related to this bug https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=334138) Neither the "sax2" nor "sax2 -r" commands completed. They both appeared to freeze. Then when I rebooted my machine the screen was back to blue. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

So you get complete bogus DPI values from your monitor. Try the following sax2 -r -m 0=nv This should give you a working nv driver configuration. Replace the "nv" driver entry in /etc/X11/xorg.conf with "nvidia". Then you get probably the blue screen again. If you can confirm this behaviour it's a nvidia driver issue, which can be workarounded with some nvidia driver options as you already figured out. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Would SaX have installed this for me when I clicked on "Graphics Card and >Monitor"? Yes, when you've installed the official openSUSE RPMs available from the NVIDIA server (YaST2 -> Community Repositories -> NVIDIA Repository), SaX2 will use the NVIDIA driver for configuration.

Since you uninstalled the NVIDIA driver I'm assuming you don't want to use it. Otherwise please reopen the bugreport. Then I'm trying to figure out, what's wrong (either bogus monitor data or a bug in monitor detection of the NVIDIA driver). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I at first thought there was a separate issue since problems opening a window in YaST didn't seem related to a bad DPI value. However, in comment 11 I said that I thought this bug was a duplicate. You asked for more info right after, so I assumed you thought they must not be.
