[opensuse] Trouble with screen
On my work machine (10.3, x86_64, nVidea GeForce 6200) today it suddenly logged me out and now has reset to 1280x1024 instead of teh 1600x1200 that I am used to and the screen expects. Every time I start sax2 it says some thing abouyt unable to use 3D, which is OK as I have zero need for it. But while it says 1600x1200 the test come up in 1200x1024, and the screen is unreadable (fuzzy, indefinte) I seem to remember some mail about thi sor a similar problem, but I did not understabnd it. The nVidia drivers were taken from the OpenSuSE commuynity repository. How do I get a visible screen back? ==John ff -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

==John ff Hi John, from my experience everytime any changes happen to the kernel i.e. upgrade or recompile, my nvidia drivers go up the creek. I have taken to using the run packages from the nvidia website http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us and running that after every kernel alteration. You have to have a kernel development

I have also given up on sax as it never seems to work right. The nvidia package gives a very nice Xconfig program as well.
