Anyway I am at desktop, and I am using a 32" Samsung HDTV resolution is supposed to be 1920x1080, but my only options are upto 1400x1050 and only 16bit colors so its as though there are no drivers installed.
My Specs on this box are as follows:
-Phenom X3 8450
-ATi HD 4550 512MB
-4GB RAM
-Foxconn 690v mobo
-500GB HD
Very basic system, my 4550 is hooked up to my display via HDMI...which leads me to my next question, my ATi card has built in Audio and I have no clue how to activate that either.
So off the bat those are my two glaring issues
1)poor image configuration with little options
2)no audio
thanks in advance  |
Hi, Bobby. Let's start with some very basic configuration checks (I am assuming you have NOT yet done these).
1) click to open YaST, enter password,
2) On left side of the new screen click hardware,
3) Click graphics card and monitor, Sax2 will open for you,
4) Click monitor,
5) Hopefully your graphics card was properly detected and selected. If not click "options" to do that,
6) Click "monitor" to select your manufacturer and model (hopefully it's there),
7) Verify and change display size by clicking tab at top of same screen,
8) Click "OK" to get back to Sax2 screen,
9) Click on resolution and colors buttons to set those as necessary,
10) Click "OK" to save everything.
That should do it. If you've already done all of this, sorry for not being of more help.
