SUSE 8.2 default graphics resolution
When SUSE 8.2 detects a new/changed graphics card it sets the resulting reolutions too high for the Viewsonic LCD VE150m which it has also correctly identified. As a result the lcd monitor puts out an alert and the computer stops loading/freezes. I can solve the situation by changing to an old non-lcd monitor but that is hardly an elegant solution. Is there a way to get the system to apply a low resolution when it sees a change in the graghics card or the monitor? The irony is that the os correctly identifies the Viewsonic VE150m so it must know the correct frequencies to apply. -- Cheers, Serge Naggar Consulting

ISTR that there is a bug in SaX that means that it starts the server with the highest res your card can run, even if that is too high for the LCD screen. I had great difficulties with a Hercules screen, but the following manual approach works fine. Go to init 5, login as root, and run: sax2 -l (note the -small L- switch, for lowres) Choose the relevant screen res and frequency (note that you may need to experiment with this - the Hercules screen was supposed to run at 72Hz, but in fact it only works in 1024x768 if you use 60Hz). Choose bit-depth (eg Neverwinter Nights will not run on any other bit-depth than 24) and 3D. Test and save, and then logout. Login as your user, and startx.
