I currently need to use krandrtray to set the resolution from the system auto default of 1680x1050 to a more respectable/readable 1024x768.
Hello:
A typical problem of modern systems, when the computer thinks it knows better what you need but it doesn't.
Ask openSUSE developers to add back sax2 for manual xorg configuration. Actually oS 11.2 has sax2 and maybe 11.3 has it too in some build repo. By running sax2 you can set the default resolution.

I wonder if this isn't due to the fact that modern flat screen monitors do such a horrible job of running at lower resolutions than their native resolution. We are no longer simply changing the timing of a ray of electrons, but rather we are grouping/clumping individual pixel elements electronically. A better approach would be scaling/zooming content rather reducing resolution. Perhaps adjusting your minimum fonts setting would be a better approach. Certainly worth a try, and it is specific to each user. When people in my office complain about small print and want things zoomed up, I often suggest they get Computer prescription. I also have them try live with the high rez for a week, and magically the bitching disappears when they realize how much more real estate they have on their screens. We spent a lot of time an money trying to get high resolution screens, and it seems a shame to make them emulate the crap we had before. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
