Just got a new system (Linux 3.1.9-1.4-desktop x86_64, penSUSE 12.1 (x86_64), KDE: 4.7.2 (4.7.2) “release 5”) on a Sony Vaio (Intel(R) Core™ i5-2450M) -
installation of the system went flawlessly but I have some minor problems -
Docky cannot start - although I installed all dependencies and gnome-desktop
here is the error I get:
docky
[Info 23:01:21.496] Docky version: 2.1.3 Release

I want to use an external monitor on the optimal resolution (1280 x 1024) for that monitor (Dell FP1703) but I do not get that option through the Display and Monitor utility -
any ideas?
In my experience when using an external monitor, KDE defaults to the lower of the two resolutions available; AFAIK work is being done on addressing this but I don’t know whether it is yet available. Someone else may be more informed about this.
I can get the laptop monitor to go the the optimal resolution ( 1366 x 768) - but the external goes only up to 1024 x 768 (even when it is the only monitor) -
in my previous laptop - with Nvidia card - I used to be able to make it work by editing (manually) the xorg.conf
