Hi,
I've just installed Suse 9.3 Pro on a somewhat old but working Intel PII server with an onboard Cirrus Logic GD5480 graphic chip. The monitor was configured with SaX2 and tested OK with VESA 1280x1024@75Hz and no 3D. However after rebooting and login to KDE or Gnome the desktop screen resolution is found set to the lower 1152x864@75Hz, and there is no higher resolution available to select. I verified again with YaST2 and the monitor should be set 1280x1024@75Hz.
Why does this happends and is it possible to extend the desktop resolution?
(On another newer PC, the desktop resolution is set 1280x1024@75Hz just like SaX2 configuration).
Thanks, Terje J. Hanssen
Check /var/log/Xorg.0.log, that will tell you what resolutions it's tried and can't do. I've never been able to get a 16M card to do more than 1024x768 properly. That card was supplied in 4, 8 or 16M versions, my guess is you have the 16M version. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
