Re: [opensuse] How to set another resolution on my desktop?

Working happily with my 11.3RC1 but ran into a problem with the resolution and refresh rate. After boot it shows resolution 1024x768 with a refresh rate of 85. This is above the rate from my monitor supplier. If I change that into 1280x1024 refresh auto it gives a much better image and gives a rate from 65, well below the manufacturers info. I have tried in vain to save this setting but after every reboot it is the old resolution and refresh rate again. In former versions I would go to sax and finish the problem. Sax has gone so what do I next?

Hello:

I don't know about openSUSE 11.3, but in 11.2 sax is also absent in System Manager but you can run it in a terminal window. I have also sax2 entry in startup-menu>system>configuration>sax2 in KDE 3.5. What I usually do is logout from graphical window, change to a terminal window (CTRL+ALT+F2 eg), login as root, do an 'init 3', run sax2, after setting up the screen do an 'init 5'. It should start then graphical window with the new settings. Do not forget to logout from the terminal window after this.

IF sax2 is really absent in 11.3 then you probably have to edit xorg.conf file manually, or copy aworking xorg.conf from a previous system.

Cheers,

Istvan Just found out that the configuration of 11.3 differs completely from my working 11.2 conf. Copying is no choice. Remains manual editing -- Linux User 183145 using LXDE on a Pentium IV ,
