kDE3 resolution problem in Leap 15.2
has anyone found a solution for the limits Leap has for KDE3 resolution. Seems to have a silly limit of 1024x768 which is nonsense. I have more than that on a monitor on my achient HP Kayak which runs 10.0 and Legacy DOS/Win311. Sorry if this is the wrong place but no sign of the KDE3 list for a month now.

I whipped it with xrandr in ~/.bashrc: #******************************************************** # Fix display resolution problems # cvt 1920 900 # xrandr if [ "$DISPLAY" = ":0" ]; then xrandr --output Virtual-0 xrandr --newmode "1920x900" 142.50 1920 2032 2232 2544 900 903 913 934 -hsync +vsync >/dev/null xrandr --addmode Virtual-0 1920x900 xrandr -s 1920x900 xrandr --dpi 96 fi #******************************************************** Works fine in VNC too.

That's doing it the hard way, and may or may not work, depending on the root problem, and the hardware. X knows just as well as cvt how to generate modelines. All it needs is the horizontal sync and vertical refresh specifications for the display, normally provided by its EDID. If EDID broken is the problem, then: e.g. /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-monitory.conf: Section "Monitor" Identifier "DefaultMonitor" Identifier "DefaultMonitor" HorizSync 29-94 VertRefresh 49-86 Option "PreferredMode" "2560x1080" # may or may not be necessary EndSection -- Evolution as taught in public schools, like religion, is based on faith, not on science.

I didn't realize we are playing King Of The Hill. There's nothing hard about my suggestion and I gave him complete tools. Doing with X is notoriously cranky and difficult, and you did not give him a method of getting the -correct- numbers. 'Nuff said.

It looks like susepaste.org is broken again. Both generate 404 errors here. :( You can try pasting /var/log/Xorg.0.log at http://pastebin.com/ or equivalent instead, or your own site if you have one. It shouldn't be necessary until possibly after you deal with below.

That 50-monitor.conf is a template, nothing but comments. This too you shouldn't need before addressing Optimus specifics. -- Evolution as taught in public schools, like religion, is based on faith, not on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg.

True, but CVT and GTF manual modeline generation became an anachronism over 15 years ago.
Doing with X is notoriously cranky and difficult, and you did not give him a method of getting the -correct- numbers.
Look it up in the display's manual if # hwinfo --monitor | grep -i 'sync r' doesn't work. Your way only works on a per user basis. Mine is global. -- Evolution as taught in public schools, like religion, is based on faith, not on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks! Felix Miata *** http://fm.no-ip.com/

Based on what I see on my system, that should be Hwinfo --monitor | grep 'Sync R' (Case sensitive).

WM/DE has nothing to do directly with a display not using an appropriate resolution. Do susepaste /var/log/Xorg.0.log and report the resulting URL here. Also paste here output from inxi -Ga (or better -Gay if it doesn't produce an error message) -- Evolution as taught in public schools, like religion, is based on faith, not on science.

Sorry if this is the wrong place but no sign of the KDE3 list for a month now.
Carl, No issues here. I'm running 1600x900 on my laptop. (Even with Nvidia drivers) I set a bunch of weird resolutions on the openSUSE guest VMs I have and no problems whatsoever with KDE3 resolutions. The resolution isn't KDE3 limited, that is generally a driver issue regardless of what desktop you are using. Double check you have the correct driver loaded. You can check /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see what driver loaded and make sure it matches your hardware. I suspect you have the fbdev driver loaded (ancient framebuffer device) -- David C.
