2 issues on SuSE 9.2

Dear listmembers, 1.) Resolution problem did anyone ever try to configure a small monitor on a system for someone having (temporarily ...) a large one connected? I found that despite all of my configuration attempts and my settings Xorg always started at 1600x1200 even though I adjusted the settings for 1024x768 at max. This can be very annoying. I saw this happen on a HP P1110 monitor with an ATI Radeon card in the PC. In contrast, when connecting only hsync and vsync, everything was fine - because no information about the monitor could be achieved. This seems a very "M$-ish" behaviour. I think it is *very* good if there is no way to set larger resolutions than the monitor can cope with - but I feel it is not as wise to stupidly ignore what the user is trying to adjust. This happened with a "standard" installation of 9.2. 2.) Stability issues on 9.2 I have a Tyan Tiger SMP mother board with a Radeon 9000 graphics card. When leaving the system alone with the screensaver "random" it fails within 1h to two days. The screen freezes, no mouse, no keyboard interaction possible. I found out that the system is still running, I can ssh to it. Then I see X eating up 99.9% of all system ressources. Killing the X server or doing a shutdown cures the situation. I upgraded to 6.8.2 rc 3 in the meantime, however, the effect remains the same. Apart from this the system cannot be brought out of sync with highest loads (running kernel compiles in an endless loop is without any problem using a terminal without X. Using only the "blank screen" screensaver reduces the problem, the freezes still happen, but in this case it takes several days for the system to freeze. I did not see anything "weird" within /var/log/messages or the xorg-logfiles. I could provide Xorg-logfiles and a "top" output when seing the screen lock; could anyone give me a commentary on this? Would this be the right list to post to? Many thanks for your efforts in advance, any help is greatly appreciated, take care Dieter Jurzitza -- ----------------------------------------------------------- | \ /\_/\ | | ~x~ |/-----\ / \ /- \_/ ^^__ _ / _ ____ / <°°__ \- \_/ | |/ | | || || _| _| _| _| if you really want to see the pictures above - use some font with constant spacing like courier! :-) -----------------------------------------------------------
