Hi there,
I got myself an Acer Aspire One 751 netbook yesterday and installed suse 11.1 today. I used the dvd image on a pendrive for installation and as far as I've checked (didn't bother getting internet and such working, I've got a suse 11.1 desktop here as well) nearly everything seems fine. Except for the screen size. The complete screen is being filled, but everything is stretched in the horizontal direction. The screen has a 16:9 ratio and it seems fine in the already installed Windows XP, but with linux it doesn't. I did follow the instructions mentioned here, that is, change Code:
DISPLAYMANAGER_RANDR_MODE_VGA="auto" Code:
DISPLAYMANAGER_RANDR_MODE_VGA="" Does anyone have an idea how to change it? Cheers, Vinay |

Hi,
thank you for your reply. It says "Vesa framebuffer graphics" in Sax2, not too sure if that is what you're after. The graphics card is on-board. The processor is Intel Atom Z520, if that is of any help. Cheers, Vinay |

Hi,
this may be the info you were looking for: Code:

Hi,
still haven't got it to work, but I noticed that the Grub screen has "vga=0x317" as boot option for linux, which seems to relate to 1024x768. I've been looking into some tables but can't find anything for 16bit 1366x768. In sax2 I now also chose LCD, which allows me to chose for the proper resolution, but the drop down menu below still only has the 1024x768 and 800x600 options. By the way I have had it connected to the internet and ran the updates, but that didn't solve the issue either. I also tried to change Code:
DISPLAYMANAGER_RANDR_MODE_VGA="" Code:
DISPLAYMANAGER_RANDR_MODE_VGA="1366x768_60 1368 1440 1584 1800 768 769 772 795" I'm a bit disappointed as I got myself exactly the same Acer Aspire 751 with SuSE 11.1 as described in the instructions I refer to in my first post. The author there apparently got it to work so that got me surprised that for me it doesn't. Same software, same hardware, it should be doable, right? Anyone some good advice? I don't use my computer for movies and such (never tried whether it works either) and for typing and such I can live perfectly fine with the stretched screen, but for making drawings and such it is important that the screen ratio is right. Thank you, Vinay |

Don't expect too much from the Intel video chip. Widescreen resolution in GRUB is not yet possible. What you want is the desktop to be in the right resolution.
Start sax2 and adjust the preferred mode if possible. If not, change monitor to LCD with proper resolution and refresh rate. Check if preferred mode now is OK. Save and exit. Please let us know the results.

As Knurpht mentioned, you may need to install proprietary drivers if you have ATI or NVIDIA chipset. For Intel chipsets, careful monitor selection is required, and sometimes manual xorg.conf tuning may also be required.
Can you post the output of one of the following commands? Quote:

Hi Knurpht and Deano,
thank you for your response. I already chose for the LCD 1366x768@60HZ in sax2. Yet still the drop down menu below still only allows me to choose between 800x600 and 1024x768. Please see xorg.conf below: Code:

De video driver in xorg.conf is 'fbdev'. That's not going to bring the resolutions you need. AFAIK you need the intel driver to be used by Xorg. Logout, Ctrl-Alt-F1 to go to console, login with username and password, and do:
su -c 'init 3' su -c 'sax2 -r -m0=intel' Pick Change Configuration to check the new values, adjust where needed, save and exit. su -c 'init 5 && exit' Each command will ask you for the root password. Good luck and keep up the faith, it will work.

Hi again,
thank you for your help. After the step "su -c 'sax2 -r -m0=intel'", sax mentioned there was a problem and refers to /var/log/SaX.log, so here it comes: Code:
