Three independent and unrelated things I'd like you to try separately only on the 1721:
1-During bootloader runtime, edit the default choice by appending to the kernel cmdline
video=1920x1200@60
If it helps, after trying the other suggestions following, reconfigure your bootloader to have it there always. For Grub2, you probably will not find any instructions explicitly telling you this is possible or desirable. Grub2 has its own way of producing the same effect that I'm not going to try to describe. For Grub Legacy, simply append it to the default stanza's kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst.
2-Disable compositing via Xorg. I do it with a file named
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-extensions.conf
containing:
Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "Disable" EndSection
3-Disable KScreen. I do it by including in
~/.kde4/share/config/kdedrc
and/or
/etc/kde4/share/config/kdedrc
the following:
[Module-kscreen] autoload=false
Let us know which if any of these help before trying to build your own *xorg.con*.
Also provide /var/log/Xorg.0.log on http://susepaste.org/ or equivalent captured without any of these in place.
I was on the 1721 for awhile, so just got this email. What I have done is set systemd to leave me in multiuser mode. Then I executed startx and it appears to work, and took me into ICE window manger I think. I then modified my /root directory to match mine (.Xdefaults, .fvwm2rc, .xinitrc) and now I end up in FVWM2, which is where I like to work.
So it appears that things get wrecked between the multiuser and graphical modes. The text screen still came up a bit of a mess, but when I executed startx everything was perfect. I will try your kernel switch and see if that helps. Does that switch apply to both screens? I need to find out how to run startx as a user so I do not have to mess in the root directory.
