Are you using 11.0 or 11.1 - KDE or GNOME? Roman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Easier than than, Just edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf (as root) and copy and paste the following in as the Monitor section: Section "Monitor" Option "CalcAlgorithm" "XServerPool" DisplaySize 475 295 HorizSync 30-66 Identifier "Monitor[0]" ModelName "1680X1050@60HZ-whocares" Option "DPMS" Option "PreferredMode" "1680x1050" VendorName "--> LCD-whocares" VertRefresh 50-61 UseModes "Modes[0]" EndSection ** Yes, you really can edit your xorg.conf by hand...and the lines with 'whocares' in them above are just labels that don't affect the display. That should get you close enough to start X in 1680x1050 on a 22" lcd display. Also, if you need a modeline (outdated, but still used in some cases) gtf is your friend. Usage: gtf h-resolution v-resolution refresh [-v|--verbose] [-f|--fbmode] [-x|-- xorgmode] Example: 13:01 archangel:/mnt/ecs/etc/X11> gtf 1680 1050 60 # 1680x1050 @ 60.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 65.22 kHz; pclk: 147.14 MHz Modeline "1680x1050_60.00" 147.14 1680 1784 1968 2256 1050 1051 1054 1087 -HSync +Vsync You can also get a working xorg.conf by typing (as root) in a konsole or xterm sax2 -or- if you are using a specific module (nvidia or fglrx) sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia -or- sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx ** where 0 is your first display. If you have 2 video cards, card 1-nvidia, card 2-fglrx, then sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia,1=fglrx One of those is bound to work... Good luck! -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

You can also get a working xorg.conf by typing (as root) in a konsole or xterm
sax2
-or- if you are using a specific module (nvidia or fglrx)
sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia
-or-
sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx
** where 0 is your first display. If you have 2 video cards, card 1-nvidia, card 2-fglrx, then
sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia,1=fglrx

Good one David. I sen't him instructions using saX2 so that he could see and understand how saX2 works. Cheers!

Whew, That saved me from having to pull out my secret weapon. Which is: "Just go delete your existing xorg.conf and restart X. X will start with perfectly good defaults for use with your hardware 99% of the time" :p -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

That's not a bad idea --if all else fails. On another note, 11.2 finally detected my Acer monitor. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
