How to change resolution to 1200*800 in suse 10.3

Hi all

I am using opensuse 10.3 now...during installation it has shown that the monitor is 15 inch with resolution 1152*---- But my monitor is 17 inch and it can even support 1200*800...
I want to change to this resolution..i was able to use this resolution in the previosys linux distros....

Please help me to change resolution...

THANKS IN ADVANCE

It might work if you start yast 2 > hardware> monitor Graphic card and change the monitor and resolution
It also gives the option to test the new settings before saving

all the best

1200x800 is not a standard resolution---it should be maybe 1280x800 (16:10) or 1200x900 (4:3)

The most straighforward way is to hand-edit /etc//X11/xorg.conf. Make sure the Horiz and vertical entries in the "Monitor" section are correct (or just comment them out by adding "#" at the beginning of the line)

In the screen section, make an entry for the highest resolution you want to use--delete all the others. Here is a typical (simplified) Screen section:

Code:

Section "Screen"

    Identifier  "Screen 1"

    Device      "My Video Card"

    Monitor    "My Monitor"

    DefaultDepth 24



    Subsection "Display"

        Depth      24

        Modes      "1920x1200"

        ViewPort    0 0

    EndSubsection

EndSection

You can also run "xorgconfig"
