Maybe, if you use TFT monitors. But with CRTs it occurs frequently. The system can't guess correctly the size with the correct refresh rate without flickering. That is the screen size is set to 1280x960 with 75 Hz refresh rate (visible flickering) instead of 1024x768 at 85 Hz with much less or non visible flickering. It occured to me several times. Even worse if the system can not remember the corrected settings and you have to start with adjusting the display after each login.
This has been discussed on the list here along with solutions.
One more thing, I don't know about: All of the desktop/window managers work well with xrandr? IMO the default resolution should be set correctly by xorg and not by the window managers. I agree that the best is if the system can set things automatically; but it must be correct - no excuse. If it can't then tools for correction should be available. Like sax2 in openSUSE.
sax2 is no longer available/supported. Xorg has been changed to autodetect the monitors and set things up accordingly. If that doesn't work, you can still define an xorg.conf, or use xrandr commands to set the resolution. I didn't make the changes... I'm just using the results :-) C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
