Hi all,
I'm a brand-new Suse10 (retail) user after trying 9.3 eval that I found
good for desktop; I just installed 10 and I ran into a monitor
resolution problem.

First boot after install, and I get a black monitor with little green
LED blinking, tyical symptom of wrong refresh rates. So I turn to init
3, and I change manually the vertical and horiz refresh settings in
/etc/X11/xorg.conf taking the old settings (luckily I saved the old suse
9.3 xorg.conf).

Reboot, and finally I could log into GNOME desktop. That I find stuck to
800x600. No problem, I start Yast2->hardware->display, I bring the
resolution to 1024x768; then I click the "test" button, but during the
test I notice that the indication of the resolution that is written in
the test display is still to 800x600.

Reboot, and infact the resolution is stuck to 800x600.

I tried again, but no way I can change it, anyone any ideas? Following
is my actual xorg.conf (the monitor section).Thank you all in advance!!!

I have seen this on the opensuse mailing list together with a solution,
but I was unable to find it back. Perhaps you have more luck:

Thanx for the pointer, it gives me an option to try; I'll try the
display as a generic VESA and I'll see if 1024x768 is accepted...

Bye,R
