I only have three optional resolutions 1280x1024 (SXGA) which is what SaX2 is set to now 1024x768 (XGA) this is what xdpyinfo |grep dimensions says my screen is 800x600 (SVGA)
Those are all 4/3 aspect ratios.
Now according to the Catalyst Control Center the Max Resolution is 1280x800 but is not a option is SaX2. I don't have the specs on me but I can look them up if needed, and I wasn't able to find a ruler so I was unable to measure the size of my screen.
OK, I'm reasonably sure that 16/10 is right aspect ratio, so the ruler can wait for now but should be done just to confirm.
I don't understand why sax2 doesn't give you any other selections. What do you have selected as a monitor? Try a basic "-->LCD" if you aren't using it already and you should be able to pick from more than what you have indicated above. (Make sure you select the right aspect ratio *before* picking the resolution. )

Ok I'm going from a "AUO AUO LCD MONITOR" to a -->LCD 1280X800@60HZ, basing this off of what the ATI Catalyst Control Center says my card can handle. After restarting X SaX2 says that I can only use the same resolutions 1280x1024 1024x768 800x600 Looks like this might be a bug?
I don't know if it is a bug, but I am running out of things to suggest. Are you running sax2 within your desktop environment (kde?)? I don't know if it is necessary but I always run sax2 from one of the virtual terminals in runlevel 3. Perhaps try that. Also, if that doesn't work you could try again to make the changes, but this time *don't* test the settings, just save the changes and see what happens. I see you have an ATI graphics card. I'm sorry but I have no experience at all with ATI cards (I only have nvidia here) and maybe there is a more appropriate tool than sax2 to adjust these settings. What does "ATI Catalyst Control Center" do? If nothing works, maybe you should make a new post to the list with these specific narrowed down details - these seem to be at the heart of your font/screen problems. I would guess that someone here could help you. Good luck. -- Don -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
