Another change screen resolution in suse 13.1 problem

English Hardware
#1

Sorry to bother this forum with another problem in getting the screen resolution to run at max capability.

It is KDE 13.1 and it is a HP Compaq 6910p labtop, which can have a resolution of 1440x900. But it only runs at 1024x800 :frowning:

I have read a lot of other threads about this problem without success. And here I post infomation that was required on other threads:

Intel Graphics Card - 965 GM
SUSE Paste

I was trying to make the solution by making a X11.conf in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-monitor.conf, and to get info I used cvt and xrandr:
SUSE Paste

It seems like I have a problem with finding the right name for the screen (LVDS /1 ?). Using Configure Desktop -> Hardware -> Display and Monitor the name should be “default” (or maybe “Default Monitor”).

I tried to use the various information to make a 50-monitor.conf file:
Section “Monitor”
Identifier “Default Monitor”
Option “Preferred Mode” “1440x900”

HorizSync 56

VertRefresh 100

1440x900 59.89 Hz (CVT 1.30MA) hsync: 55.93 kHz; pclk: 106.50 MHz

Modeline “1440x900_60.00” 106.50 1440 1528 1672 1904 900 903 909 934 -hsync +vsync

EndSection

And tried different variation of with/without modeline, hsync, vsync… with no luck.

Looking in the X11 logfile:
SUSE Paste

I got the feeling that 50-monitor.conf never was read? And when I tried to detect which driver was loaded I found this:
SUSE Paste

So I don’t think the Intel driver is loaded at all? When booting KDE Live USB stick the screen resolution is fine.

If it is wrong driver, could you give a hint on how to change the driver - thanks!

Remove “nomodeset” from your kernel boot line!
Then the intel driver would be used (you’re using fbdev now), which should automatically detect the correct resolution.
You can use YaST->System->Boot Loader->Boot Loader Options->Optional Kernel line Parameter for that.
A side note: Having “quiet” in there 3! times is also not really necessary. :wink:

And then you should of course also revert the changes to 50-monitor.conf…

Thank very much for your quick answer! Now it is running with high resolution :slight_smile:

Also, be aware that openSUSE 11.3 has been out of support for quite some
time now. You may wish to upgrade, as you’ll not have received security
updates for a couple years now.

(Unless you’re using SLED or SLES, in which case, you’ll want to be over
on forums.suse.com in future)

The body of the message says 13.1. :slight_smile:

For some reason many of us tend to to guff on the subject title, and
only notice too late.
