I had to replace my nvidia card to an older ATI radeon 7000. Since I use xorg.conf for configuring X, the X window system could not be started with the new card. In openSUSE 11.2 this was not a problem at all: I started sax2 in a terminal and it configured X properly according to my display's native resolution, 1600x1200. In openSUSE 12.1, as it does not have sax2, I removed the old xorg.conf, and expected that the system configures X correctly. But instead of the native 1600x1200 resolution the result was 1280x960. You can imagine how 1280x960 looks on a 1600x1200 display: ugly.

Obiously openSUSE 12.1 can not automatically configure X correctly, while in 11.2 the correct configuration could be done easily.

You might have a cable or radeon 7000 connector problem interfering. Or maybe your display's preferred mode and available modes are out of sync with your understanding or wishes. Is it a CRT?

Next I copied the xorg.conf file from 11.2 to 12.1 but this did not make any change on resolution, it is still 1280x960. Now I am stucked, what should be the next step to correct this?

1-Remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf 2-match the content of the following files: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-device.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-monitor.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-screen.conf to: http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Xorg/50-device.conf http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Xorg/50-monitor.conf http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Xorg/50-screen.conf and you'll probably be good to go. They work with my rv200 Radeon 7500. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.
