There are several howto's on the wiki and forums about this. Usually not difficult once sorted out. http://wiki.opensuse.org/SDB:Configuring_graphics_cards http://wiki.opensuse.org/index.php?title=Archive:SaX2&oldid=14388 You can use your old xorg.conf file; if it is present, X will use it first. There is also a skeleton xorg.conf file (IIRC xorg.conf.install) which uses the fbdev driver; you can try modifying that to the driver you previously used. If your card is nvidia, the SuSE installation by default installs nouveau. But you can download/compile the nvidia proprietary driver; you will need gcc, make, kernel-source, and kernel-headers (and maybe kernel-syms, I don't remember for sure). That won't be necessary once the 11.3 nvidia repo is set up; for some reason, that always lags the SuSE release date for a while.
Hi
I have just installed 11.3 and am having a problem with the graphics resolution.
My screen is actually a TV which does not report its characteristics (1280x720@60Hz). X automatically configures itself to 768x576@50Hz and the screen scales this in such a way as to shift the top, bottom and left side off the physical screen.
The installation is fine when attached to a 'normal' monitor (X correctly autoconfigures 1024x768@60Hz). The TV screen functions correctly under 11.2.
I tried copy the relevant lines from my old, functional xorg.conf into the new one - but there is no xorg.conf and the use of the files in xorg.conf.d is opaque without adequate documentation.
I tried running sax2 to create a xorg.conf file, only to discover that the utility doesn't seem to exist any more.
Can anyone tell me how to manually configure X for the required resolution - what information needs to go into which files now there's no central xorg.conf?
Thanks
Dylan
