when I log in and do 'startx' at first the screen flashes in low-res but then (I presume as plasma takes over) it goes into high-res.
So what is plasma using? It gives me 1920 x 1080
/usr/lib/sddm/sddm.conf.d/ has thses 00-general.conf 10-plasma.conf 10-theme.conf 11-kwin_wayland.conf 20-breeze-openSUSE.conf
Officially, openSUSE does not support use of startx.
I thank the Kremlin of Creation it doesn't, because startx was the ONLY thing that worked all this time until Masaru Nomiya suggested a file edit! But the fun is only beginning. Once I got SDDM to do its thing I noticed a little quirk in the desktop layout. I have a short script that executes in .profile I think to get xeyes up. It includes: ------- if [ "$desktop" = "kde" ] then echo it is kde xeyes -geometry 70x50+36+420 & xeyes -geometry 70x50+1750+420 & else echo No kde, no xeyes fi ------- NB. only two calls to xeyes but when Pulse loads what I get is https://imgur.com/RHZ7ldG.png 3 pairs of eyes AND another half screen that appears only in the capture.
Content of /var/log/Xorg.#.log may provide clues to what is happening. Also, now that you are using radeon, you may need to rebuild your initrds to clear out anything that remains of nouveau and/or nvidia, and have _added_ radeon, unless you have since installed a new kernel. If you have not, and you don't already have latest, simply install it.
I don't sdee any radeon drivers but I installed the few packages with 'radeon' in their name with Yast.
