I am glad I saw your post. I will have to check it out tonight. I could not find that display setting and I was inclined to agree that this latest development was a big step back. Until I saw your post I thought it was very silly to have to tinker with X settings while the Windows (gasp) world made it easy for years. Thanks.
This is the same in Gnome too - different menu path of course, but the same effect. Easy resolution adjustment via the Display settings... assuming you don't need rapid repeat resolution changes that the old keyboard shortcut keys used to provide. This same place is where I go to set up multi-display (on my netbook)... something I also find VERY easy, but seems to cause a lot of grief for a few people on the mailing list... I'm not sire if it's that they don't know of this, or this part of the Display settings simply doesn't work in their case... but I've found it to be pretty robust overall. On that note... the user preferences.... the whole layout of the user preferences has changed from KDE4.4.4 (default for 11.3) and KDE4.5.0. they've done a major overhaul, consolidating things, and grouping things a lot more intelligently. It's well worth taking a look around in there if you've bumped up to KDE4.5.0... or even if you're still on KDE4.4.4. There is a lot of that "old" functionality that used to be provided via YaST that is there now in the KDE Preferences... and for the most part, it works a lot better now than the way it used to be when it was split between prefs and YaST.. eg setting up keyboards and touchpads. (I still have to try it with digitizer tablets to see how well that works though) C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
