* Centaure16,

it has a ATI Radeon HD3650 video chipset: Did you install the ATI drivers? After that, sax2 should be able to pick the correct resolution.

I have a 64 bit os.
I downloaded on ATI site the drivers for my video card and i have a .run File.

What am I supposed to do with it.
I tried to launch it in a terminal as root but it start a gedit window....???
It is ok now i just had to set it as an executable file.

Ok, they are installed and i still can't choose the right resolution with Sax2...

Not necessary. Check the Repositories in Yast and enable the ATI repo.
