Hi, I am trying to set up SUSE Pro 9.3 to work with the TFT WXGA 1280x800 (16:10) screen of an Acer TravelMate 2303 laptop.
Why, if sax2 (you say) has configured the screen to 1280 x 800 (that seems to me to be a weird size)...
It's a standard widescreen laptop resolution (all ours are that resolution, from two different manufacturers).
I've never found that SaX2 does what I want; hand-editing the config file invariably does.
Use GTF or xtiming.sourceforge.net to generate a modeline, e.g.
williamg@aspire1:~> gtf 1280 800 60
# 1280x800 @ 60.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 49.68 kHz; pclk: 83.46 MHz Modeline "1280x800_60.00" 83.46 1280 1344 1480 1680 800 801 804 828 -HSync +Vsync
then add that to the appropriate places (Modes and Screen->Display) in your xorg.conf.

This is what i love about this list! I keep getting handy tips and learning from other peoples problems. I wasnt aware of gtf before. And i have "settled" for a lower res and refresh on my second head (running tripple head) But now i had the opportunity to set both to the same!
