[opensuse] Xorg ignores my screen resolution settings.
Hello, Since I installed opensuse-10.3, xorg always uses 1368x768 screen resolution no matter what setting I choose in sax2. AFAICS, the configuration in /etc/X11/xorg.conf is OK: Section "Monitor" DisplaySize 427 320 HorizSync 29-113 Identifier "Monitor[0]" ModelName "21P4" Option "DPMS" VendorName "FUJITSU SIEMENS" VertRefresh 50-160 UseModes "Modes[0]" EndSection But I always get 1368x768, even if I choose fairly low resolution like 1280x1024. My changes in sax2 don't show even the slightest effect, no matter which resolution I choose. This monitor/graphic-card combination (intel 82865G onboard) worked out of the box since suse-8.x up to suse-10.2 without the slightest problem with 1600x1200@85. But with 10.3, I get only this boring 1368x768, no matter what I do. Any ideas what is going wrong here? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

In sax2, rather than specifying your particular monitor, have you tried to select a basic VESA setting instead? Does it make any difference? -- Don -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thanks for the quick response, Don. Yes, I tried (in fact, vesa-1600x1200@60 is autodetected at installation time). No, it don't make any difference. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Modernization in Xorg and the Intel driver. There are clues in /var/log/Xorg.0.log you haven't shared with us, but try putting in xorg.conf 'Section "Monitor"': Option "PreferredMode" "1600x1200" You might want to investigate xrandr when you get a chance to get a better understanding of what has been going on under the hood of X after 10.2 was released. -- "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

I have not attached this file because I am still somewhat used to the good old days, when attaching big files was a big NONO unless explicitly requested :-)
but try putting in xorg.conf 'Section "Monitor"':
Option "PreferredMode" "1600x1200"
I'll try this (can't do that right now because the box is in the office) and report back with Xorg.0.log if it don't help.
You might want to investigate xrandr when you get a chance to get a better understanding of what has been going on under the hood of X after 10.2 was released.
Thanks for the suggestions, Felix! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

That did the trick and gave me my 1600x1200@85 back again. Thanks Felix! Is this workaround needed only for 10.3 or will I have to add this manually in future versions, too? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
