i have a opensuse 11 system running on a athlon XP 3000+ with 1.5 gigs of RAM and a radeon 9800 PRO 256.

i have run suse since suse 9 and always loved it, because it supports my dual 17 inch 1280x1024 monitors perfectly.

this time around when i go into sax2 and set up the dual monitor config as i have done hundreds of times, it works i get dual monitor with 3d acceleration but, if i go into any apps, or even the desktop when in dual monitor, it looks funky. firefox, the whole app, the bars, the URL bar, everything is oversized by about 10 times. the rendered imnages and text looked zoomed in and pixelated.

if i turn off the dual monitor it works fine, but with it on the while thing is over sized and big.

i am using baseline drivers for all thigns since i use old hardware and the suse drivers have been fine for this ahrdware since suse 9.

I think you need to load the latest ATI driver. You can add the installation source of "www2.ati.com/suse/11.0/" or use the one-click installation. Version 8.6, which is the latest version should support your video card Radeon 9800 just fine. You can also go to the ATI site and download the latest version if the base SUSE install is loading an older ATI driver. I use nVidia video cards and the base driver will not let me out of 800x600 mode. I do a manual install of the latest nVidia version driver obtained directly from nVidia and don't use one-click or the base driver install. This is more trouble, but it seems to work much better than the default install from SUSE 11.0.

Thank You,

i shall try that thanks
