your editor/email client has wrap disabled :( ##
Well sorry about that but I am using webmail, and I wasn't aware of such requirements. I don't think there is much I can do other than wrap manually.
it is not a "requirement", just courtesy
you fail to provide information! define "minimal xwindow system", "screen resolution", "scaled mode", missing necessary options....
When installing opensuse, there is an option to select the desktop environment. If you select "other" there is a minimal xwindow installation which uses xdm and icewm.
Using a laptop LCD there is a default resolution of 1920x1200. If you use a lower resolution, for example, 1024x768, you can scale the display so it fills the screen but writing etc looks bigger.
so you chose a "scaled" mode? of ?
is it really necessary to not install a desktop during the system install?
No but my system has less than 1G of RAM and performs better without a DE.
ah
steps you took to get to where you are now?
I installed the system then installed kde and changed the resolution of the screen. I then re-installed the system and wiped everything, thinking that the resolution would return to the default. But it did not.
"wiped everything", reformatted?
some means of clearing a foggy crystal ball.
I have got the right resolution back using the display settings with XFCE4 but it still starts xwindows with the wrong resolution and changes it when I log in.
so you are not talking about the resolution in your desktop, but the display during boot/grub, iiuc. yast bootloader adjust the display parameters (google if not understood). or you need to better explain to those not sitting in front of your monitor. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
