Just installed FX 5500 AGP , system Suse 10.1, and resolution was changed to 800 x 600. This happens because I have an old KDS monitor which has to be set manually to the same config. as KDS - xf-70. This time when I reset the resolution using Yast, the settings were displayed as being changed, but did not take effect when re-booted. Is this a known problem? I really need to get more on my screen.

What you can see as display size in YaST? My old monitors were always recognized as 13" and 15", instead of 15" and 17". Manual correction in YaST always helped.
That true, I had to set resolution manually, and it worked before I installed nvidia drivers.
Resolution is one pair of shoes, monitor physical size the other, but usually problem are third, horizontal and vertical synchronization ranges. SaX2 or Xorg can refuse to load some resolution that is too high for monitor physical capabilities. Check other 2 tabs for horizontal and vertical synchronization ranges and monitor physical size.
Since I installed the nvidia drivers, the new configuration is displayed in sax2 under Yast, but a new xorg.config is not written. I ran nvidia-config and nvidia-settings, but sax will not allow any res other than 800 x 600. My monitor is a 19" diag. (real size about 17") capable of 1280 x 1024 at 60hz, but sax wont believe it.

I guess it is time to see /etc/X11/xorg.conf, can you post it? It would be also good to know openSUSE version. BTW, I have PCI version of the same card. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
