Hi,
I've just installed Suse 9.3 Pro on a somewhat old but working Intel PII server with an onboard Cirrus Logic GD5480 graphic chip. The monitor was configured with SaX2 and tested OK with VESA 1280x1024@75Hz and no 3D. However after rebooting and login to KDE or Gnome the desktop screen resolution is found set to the lower 1152x864@75Hz, and there is no higher resolution available to select. I verified again with YaST2 and the monitor should be set 1280x1024@75Hz.
Why does this happends and is it possible to extend the desktop resolution? It is probably a limitation of your graphics card. It could also be video memory. Are you running 16 bit? You could try lowering the bit depth if the memory is short.
Also try running hwinfo --framebuffer to see which resolutions are supported by the graphics card. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
