[opensuse] 10.3 Screen Resolution problem
Hi all, I am pretty much new to linux and I need some help. I have installed suse10.3 (it was 10.2 and I formatted root partition and installed) and it is working fine except the graphics. My screen resolution is 800x600 54Khz:85Hz even after I change from yast2 (it is showing two other resolutions, 1024x768XGA and 1152x864XGA) none of then seem to work and in the test screen it sticks to 800x600 (In 10.2 I have used higher resolutions). Thanks in advance for any help. Bikram -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Are you using the built-in Intel graphic card or ATI/Nvidia? If the latter, have you installed the proprietary drivers or are you using the open source version? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
Thanks for the reply Chee, No, it is built in Intel Graphics card (my mboard is 945GCL) also my monitor is SAMTRON 56V. On Dec 2, 2007 8:03 AM, Chee How Chua <chuacheehow@gmail.com> wrote:

Starting with the simplest solutions first. Many people don't realize that you have to restart the xserver in order to have the new resolution. Have you done this? You can restart the xserver by pressing ctrl+alt+backspace. Cheers Todd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
Thanks for the reply Todd, Oh yes, I did that several times... (old windows habbit). I restarted the machine also! Each time I change the resolution and try to save it a window comes with "Test" button. This takes me to a screen that looks like adjusting screen size and position etc, I guess this also restarts the x-server. What else I might be missing? -- Bikram On 12/2/07, todd@sohovfx.com <todd@sohovfx.com> wrote:
