I’ve just installed OpenSUSE as a dual boot with Windows 7. OpenSUSE uses KDE and is on my external USB HDD (W7 is on my laptops internal drive). My laptop has Intel graphics.
I set up my preferred display resolution (1920*1080 on an external monitor), set my wallpaper and so on. I also have a couple of gadgets.
When I restart OpenSUSE the only display is on my laptops screen and even then has no wallpaper and no matter what I do I cannot get my external display to work.
However if I right click on the desktop and select Log Out then log back in everything works correctly - I have the correct display at the correct resolution of 1920*1080.
Why is this happening and how can I make a permanent fix?
