: --------------------------Section "Monitor" DisplaySize 662 207 ^^^^^^^^^^^ size in mm Horz/Vert
Oops, overlooked that line.... Well if that's 66cm, that must be wrong.... Should i set up it by had with yast?, i'll better look for the specs of the laptop....
You can do a quick and dirty fix on this if you're comfortable editing by hand... - Measure the physical dimensions of your monitor (use a ruler, tape measure etc. or get it from the monitor spec sheet if you have it) - Log out of KDE - Log in as root (in a terminal, not in a GUI) - Switch to run level 3 (init 3) - Backup your existing xorg.conf (just in case) - Use your favorite text editor, and edit xorg.conf - Change the DisplaySize setting to match the actual (measured) dimensions of your monitor screen - Save, and test by restarting X (eg switch to a second terminal, log in as user and use startx to launch KDE.. if you have any errors they will be show in the terminal... or just switch back to run level 5)
You can do the same through YAST (SAX2) if you prefer. I'd still recommend backing up your existing working xorg.conf first.
If it works, you know you're on the right track (if it fails, it's a simple matter of restoring your xorg.conf backup to get back to where you were)... next test is make sure that your dual head stuff still works as expected. Just guessing here, but It's possible that the odd monitor dimension was set that large by SAX when you set up your dual head stuff.

Weird, SAX, when asked to set the dimensions by hand, gives the good ones (not the same in xorg.conf), already downloaded the specs of the laptop, i'll test it today. Should that wrong parameters affect all the apps?

Thanks a lot for the help, changing the screen size solved the problem, i'm not sure how the wrong sizes got there. Ciro -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
