Driver can't read EDID information from monitor:
Ok, I see it.

Above means that you have to set manually monitor type in xorg.conf.
Ok.
This is original section monitor: Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Unknown" ModelName "Unknown" HorizSync 28.0 - 33.0 VertRefresh 43.0 - 72.0 Option "DPMS" EndSection
"Identifier" is mandatory, and current "Monitor0" is fine. It is just arbitrary string used by the xorg to identify monitor. "VendorName" and "ModelName" are for your convenience, they are not used by xorg to determine graphic configuration.
Ok.
More can be found in xorg.conf manual. (Someone put wiki page about using manuals in SDB? Now it is corrected) http://en.opensuse.org/Manual_pages
I will study about xorg.conf.
also I recommend to learn basic usage of: http://en.opensuse.org/Midnight_Commander http://http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Midnight_Commander_tips#Lynx_like_motion It is Swiss Army knife for console operations and once learned you will ask yourself how you did it without. It will save you learning a lot of commands and its switches. (my words in the article :)
I know it and have used it since many years. Starting from the DOS days, I have used Norton Commander, and it's a real Swiss Army knife as you write :-)
You have to add DisplaySize of your monitor and probably correct HorizSync and VertRefresh using
Yes ok.
Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Unknown" ModelName "Unknown" DisplaySize width height HorizSync 28.0 - 33.0 VertRefresh 43.0 - 72.0 Option "DPMS" EndSection
DisplaySize is in millimeters and you can literally put what you can measure on the screen, although it would be better to put vendor's data from monitor manual.
I will look at the site for it at Acer. It a X233H monitor.
HorizSync is in kHz. (vendor's data from monitor manual) VertRefresh is in Hz. (vendor's data from monitor manual)
The xorg.conf is very virgin like, as it is just made using nvidia-xconfig
I'm on IRC now as erikja Are you there, and what nick do you use?.
You found it, but yes, I was not there.
I can see, that you aren't here now. Being back from a nice walk along the coast of the North Sea, wonderfull it was.

P.S. At the present I use -temporary- an xorg.conf from the time I ran 11.2 :-) CU maybe on the IRC. -- Med venlig hilsen - Best regards Erik Jakobsen - eja@urbakken.dk Licensed radioamateur with the callsign OZ4KK.
