Hello! ok, installed 10.2 on my new dell core 2 duo laptop. here is the problem (one of):
i cannot change the screen resolution at all. it's stuck at 1024x768. Yast lets me change to the proper resolution settings of 1280x800, but when it tests the new resolution it is testing 1024x768! no matter what i do when I restart X it always stays at 1024x768. I even hand-edited /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and at one point edited out all references to 1024x768, but every time X is restarted everything is reset including xorg.conf! another thing that is now happening (possibly my fault from messing around irritated and carelessly) is that the "Display" section of "Yast Administration" will very rarely load up now. here are some details for what they're worth: chipset: Mobile Intel 945GM Express native resolution of screen: 1280x800 excerpt from /etc/X11/xorg.conf Section "Monitor" DisplaySize 303 190 HorizSync 29-62 Identifier "Monitor[0]" ModelName "UD490 141W1 LCD MONITOR" Option "DPMS" VendorName "SEC" VertRefresh 43-60 UseModes "Modes[0]" EndSection Section "Modes" Identifier "Modes[0]" Modeline "1280x800" 83.46 1280 1344 1480 1680 800 801 804 828 Modeline "1280x800" 69.75 1280 1328 1360 1440 800 803 809 823 +HSync -Vsync Modeline "1280x768" 80.14 1280 1344 1480 1680 768 769 772 795 Modeline "1280x768" 67.00 1280 1328 1360 1440 768 771 778 790 +HSync -Vsync Modeline "1024x768" 64.11 1024 1080 1184 1344 768 769 772 795 Modeline "1024x768" 55.00 1024 1072 1104 1184 768 771 775 790 +HSync -Vsync Modeline "1280x600" 61.50 1280 1336 1464 1648 600 601 604 622 Modeline "1280x600" 52.50 1280 1328 1360 1440 600 603 613 619 +HSync -Vsync Modeline "1024x600" 48.96 1024 1064 1168 1312 600 601 604 622 Modeline "1024x600" 43.00 1024 1072 1104 1184 600 603 613 619 +HSync -Vsync Modeline "800x600" 38.22 800 832 912 1024 600 601 604 622 Modeline "800x600" 34.75 800 848 880 960 600 603 607 617 +HSync -Vsync Modeline "768x576" 34.96 768 792 872 976 576 577 580 597 Modeline "768x576" 32.25 768 816 848 928 576 579 583 593 +HSync -Vsync Modeline "640x480" 23.86 640 656 720 800 480 481 484 497 Modeline "640x480" 23.25 640 688 720 800 480 483 487 494 +HSync -Vsync EndSection Section "Screen" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 15 Modes "1280x800" "1280x768" "1024x768" "1280x600" "1024x600" "800x600" "768x576" "640x480" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1280x800" "1280x768" "1024x768" "1280x600" "1024x600" "800x600" "768x576" "640x480" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1280x800" "1280x768" "1024x768" "1280x600" "1024x600" "800x600" "768x576" "640x480" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 8 Modes "1280x800" "1280x768" "1024x768" "1280x600" "1024x600" "800x600" "768x576" "640x480" EndSubSection Device "Device[0]" Identifier "Screen[0]" Monitor "Monitor[0]" EndSection Section "Device" BoardName "945 GM" BusID "0:2:0" Driver "i810" Identifier "Device[0]" Option "NoDDC" Screen 0 VendorName "Intel" EndSection Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Layout[all]" InputDevice "Keyboard[0]" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "Mouse[1]" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Mouse[3]" "SendCoreEvents" Option "Clone" "off" Option "Xinerama" "off" Screen "Screen[0]" EndSection Section "DRI" Group "video" Mode 0660 EndSection Section "Extensions" EndSection cheers in advance! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
