[opensuse] Thanks and Screen Resolution Problem!
First, a thank you to all who helped build 10.2. Hands downs the slickest installation I have gone though yet, especially picking up the old users from my /home partition. Now, I have installed 10.2 on a Dell Inspiron 9400 and all works well except the screen resolution. Under Sax2 the system correctly identifies the driver needed and the 17 inch wide screen, I am able to set it to 1450x900 and it tests fine. When I log into KDE I only get a maximum resolution of 1024x768, I go into personal settings->peripherals->display and try to set it to 1450x900 but the only option is 1024x768. I disabled the dual head display so it does not try to configure the svga output. I also noticed that under the kde display settings it has grayed out a reference to screen 1. Any thoughs would be appreciated.

So which vid card do you have in that machine? Dell offers two or three different models. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
I apologize for the delay in responding, I appreciate your assistance.

It is the Intel 945 as reported by lspci: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) This was grepped from dmesg agpgart: Detected an Intel 945GM Chipset. The funny part is the reference in kde display settings for the screen1 and there is no reference to screen1 in my xorg.conf file. Only a reference to screen0.

An update, I just ran sax2 and selected change the configuration. Intel 945GM adapter is discovered, it suggested I use 1440 x 900 24bit depth, I chose save and test. When the test screen came up it advised me that screen 0 was 1024 x 768 48 Hz. I exited and restarted the sax2 and it failed and the log indicated that there were no screens found.

Maybe you better post three sections of your xorg.conf file so someone can suggest what next: Monitor Screen Device Also, any (EE) lines from /var/log/Xorg.0.log should be instructive. SaX.log might also be helpful. -- "Let your conversation be always full of grace." Colossians 4:6 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.

Another thing to try is substituting 16 for 24 for the depth and defaultdepth. Also make sure from lspci the correct BusID is being used. -- "Let your conversation be always full of grace."
