From its menu it looks like 1280x1024 is the current resolution and
I'm using openSUSE 11.0/Gnome with the Nvidia driver for Quadro FX550 connected to a 24" WUXGA 1920x1200 panel. To enlarge a remote tsclient/rdp5 Windows window, I temporary selected 1600x1024 resolution with the Control Center Screen Resolution tool (gnome-display-properties). But this broke the display resolution and placed a vertical split 1/3 from left of the display. (The same thing I've done several times on my mobil workstation). The right part of the desktop is placed in the left split window and opposite. Using the Gnome desktop is practical impossible. Tried to reconfigure the screen with SaX2 from run level 3, but there everything looks ok with 1920x1200 still in use and with test. The xorg.conf also contains only 1920x1200. And beside, changig session to KDE works ok at logon. Therefore this looks not like a X problem but more like a screwed up problem in Gnome desktop and its control center screen resolution in conflict what SaX2 shows. I've been able to do a remote 'ssh -X' login and started /usr/bin/gnome-display-properties there is nothing higher to select either. Therefore this looks like a screwed up problem in Gnome desktop and its control center. Where does gnome-display-properties save its screen resolution configuration, and how to possibly edit it back to the menu with 1920x1200?
