Thanks Stan, I'll give that a try. The problem I had when I tried running sax2 is i couldn't actually see the save settings button, so i had to keep hitting tab to hopefully get it. Regards, Alistair.

Hi,

I'm running OpenSUSE 10.2 with KDE, using a Matrox G550 graphics card. When I connect my system to a normal lcd monitor (resolution 1024 x 768) the display looks fine. But when I connect the same system to my 32" Loewe lcd tv the fonts look enormous! All applications look very large and unusable too as the fonts are so huge.

Has anyone else experienced this problem before? Please help...

Thank you, Alistair.

Did you re-run sax2 to account for the change in monitors? If not, then you are dispaying 1024x768 on a huge screen and your fonts should look huge.

There isn't any automatic display resolution changing due to a change in monitors on openSUSE 10.2 and KDE 3.x.

After switching monitors, log out of KDE, switch to a console such as Ctrl+Alt+F1, login as root, issue the 'init 3' command (without the quotes), run sax2 and verify that it detects the 32" Loewe correctly, test+save that config, issue the 'init 5' command to re-start X and KDE, login and see what it looks like. -- Stan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
