Hello,
It's an IBM T30 Thinkpad (2GHz CPU, 2G RAM); it has a built in display (1024x768x60Hz), and an external LCD panel at 1280x1024x60Hz. The problem is that, no matter what I try, the X server (or the ATI driver?) will only drive the external panel at 1024x768. The result is that fonts look awful, and headaches are frequent. It seems that the server is querying the display at startup, only finding the built-in panel, and deciding that1280x1024 is outside the permitted range. It seems that the X server is setting the primary display to always be the built-in panel, and setting the resolution to 1024x768. even when using the 1280x1024 external monitor. I can't find a way to change this behaviour. Does anyone know if it's possible (9.0 did it OK, so I guess it is)?
Sax2 always reverts to 1024x768 at the "test" stage after manually setting the monitor and resolution to 1280x1024.
I've tried loading the newer patches for radeon fro the SuSE downloads area, but no luck so far. Am I faced with having to go back to 9.0?
download and test the new sax2? ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/supplementary/X/XFree86/Sax2/suse91/* -- MfG / Regards Günther J. Niederwimmer
