Alex:
Slow down.
This laptop have just the LCD under Displays in YaST?
I ran into a similar issue on OpenSUSE 11.4
I just changed resolution a couple of times and rebooted. It seemed to help at that time, when it didn't help, I'd log out of the GUI (to the login screen) and open a new console with Ctrl+Alt+F1 and login as my usual self and issue this command:
Code:
mv ~/.config ~/.config.org
exit
then Ctrl+Alt+F7 to login back in graphically and see if the issue persists.
Another method of testing is to create a new user on the System and login as that user and see if the issue persists.
Moving .config has never been an issue, but I must warn you,
your panels will be reset to default. but this is NOT an issue since it is a new install.
Please let us know...
