How to reset monitor settings to default autodetected settings in openSUSE?
 

Hi,
I tried to change the resolution on my monitor and my settings are hosed now. I cannot do anything graphical because the font is so small the text is almost nonexistant. Is there someway from the command line or boot prompt that I can reset my monitor settings to what they were when I installed?
I'm running openSUSE 11.0. In Fedora I believe I could run "/usr/sbin/firstboot --reconfig". Is there an equivalent?

Thanks,
Ben

Is it the resolution settings that are bad, or just the size of the fonts? You can run sax from the console as well. Also look in /etc/X11/ for backup xorg.conf files.

I'm not certain, but if you used sax to create the changes, I think the previous settings were backed up to "xorg.conf.saxsave".

The backup's not going to do me any good because I tried to make changes unsuccessfully more than once. I really need a way to get back to the default. "sax2 -r" from the command line looks hopeful, but I get the message "access to your display is denied" even as root.
