[opensuse] Display configuration issues
Hi, I have installed openSuse 11 (KDE 4) on my machine and the problem I am facing is that I can't get the appropriate resolution for my monitor. The monitor is : LG194WT and the graphic card is : Intel 82810E The best resolution I have been able to get is 800 x 768. Running SAX tells me that the monitor is unknown. I have a driver disk that came with the monitor and when I select the appropriate model from the list and choose the resolution I want, trying to either save the config or test causes the system to hang. On rebooting, after I login I am logged out immediately. I installed Fedora 9 (?) with KDE 4, and everything worked fine, no dramas at all. I would really love to have opensuse running on my machine. Can anyone please advise where shall I start in order to get this fixed.

What do yoy have in /etc/X11/Xorg.conf in the device and monitor section?
Probably you just need to set the right driver "i810" or "intel" in
your device section

Open sax2 in runlevel 3. An easy way to get to runlevel 3, in case you're not familiar with runlevels, is on the graphical boot screen, append 3 on the kernel line before entering. In sax2, select first generic LCD 1440x900, then set size to 19", then set resolution to 1440x900. Skip testing from within sax2. Just save, then try going to runlevel 5 via init 5 or telinit 5. If for some reason this doesn't work, check in /etc/xorg.conf which driver is in use. If intel, try switching to i810, or vice versa, but I think i810 is now obsolete and causes intel to be used instead. -- "Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation?"
