Hello everybody,

We are trying to get this display working with a Dell 755 under
OpenSuSE 10.3. The graphics card we use is an onboard controller which
is an Intel Q33/35 implementation.

The maximum native resolution of the monitor is 1680x1050. When we try
to run it in that resolution on the Linux box it paints about 2/3 of
the screen on the right while reporting correct resolution through the
monitor menu. I also tried configuring it as a second monitor on a
laptop which has OpenSuSE 10.3 and Windows Vista. Under SuSE it gets
stuck in the 1280x768 mode; under Vista - which, by the way, does not
support 1680x1050 - it goes either in 1600x1200 (don't know how) or
1680x1050, H: 65 KHz, V: 60 Hz.

So the question is - what's up with all this? How do we fix it?

Any help much appreciated.

Boris.

i have had this problem if monitor has auto button using it should fix the
problem.

example in winxp their is no problem but when i installed opensuse 10.3 and
got round to the monitor configuration i had the above problem.

second thing to try get a graphics card that might be a better solution

Try manual hacking in xorg.conf which is the usual way of difficult
configurations.
