Hi,
Has anyone gotten a resolution of 1680 x 1050 out of an intel 965G chipset? I'm looking for that, out of the box, my opensuse 10.2 only offers 1280 x 1024 which looks somehow wrong...I would appreciate if some one could help me in a way getting my x-server to display 1680 x 1050 pixel on my screen.
Thank you! Ron --

Don't know how to add a line for 1680x1050. It looks like sync rates to me.... i guess i need to find a manual for my screen acer AL2216W. Right? For what should i look in there?
Thanks!

I have been through this in great detail and with great pain with opensuse 10.0. (see http://lists.freedesktop.org/pipermail/xorg/2007-April/023179.html)
You are *very* luck to be running 10.2 because the 10.2 kernel will support 1680x1050 resolution natively and you will be spared the learning experience of having to build X, Mesa, and Dri/Drm from source. (see http://intellinuxgraphics.org/)
The bottom line for you is a 3 step process(qualified with an "I'm pretty sure" speaking only from 10.0 experience):
(1) you will need to download or install from Yast the 915resolution tool;
(2) you will follow the instructions to patch a video mode in your video card for 1680x1050 resolution; and but the 915resolution tool wouldn't actually offer 1680x1050. I only got following modes: Mode 30 : 640x480, 8 bits/pixel Mode 32 : 800x600, 8 bits/pixel Mode 34 : 1024x768, 8 bits/pixel Mode 38 : 1280x1024, 8 bits/pixel Mode 3a : 1600x1200, 8 bits/pixel Mode 3c : 1920x1440, 8 bits/pixel Mode 41 : 640x480, 16 bits/pixel Mode 43 : 800x600, 16 bits/pixel Mode 45 : 1024x768, 16 bits/pixel Mode 49 : 1280x1024, 16 bits/pixel Mode 4b : 1600x1200, 16 bits/pixel Mode 4d : 1920x1440, 16 bits/pixel Mode 50 : 640x480, 32 bits/pixel Mode 52 : 800x600, 32 bits/pixel Mode 54 : 1024x768, 32 bits/pixel Mode 58 : 1280x1024, 32 bits/pixel Mode 5a : 1600x1200, 32 bits/pixel Mode 5c : 1920x1440, 32 bits/pixel So I don't know how i should go from here, any other suggestions?
