Hi guys,
I am using OpenSUSE 12.3 with the following motherboard Digilite DL-AD2550B. Even though my monitor supports 1366x768 it is showing only 1024x768.Is this a problem with display driver.
My graphic card details
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Atom Processor D2xxx/N2xxx Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0be2] (rev 0b)
Subsystem: ASRock Incorporation Device [1849:0be2]
Kernel driver in use: gma500
Thanks in advance
It could well be, but to get a more complete picture it is useful to look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log. It is a large file, so if you want to share it here for advice, you are best to upload it to
and post the link that it generates here.
Here is my Xorg.0.log file
Your xorg log reports the following

You’re using a VGA-connected monitor, and the highest reported resolution from the attached monitor is 1024x768@60Hz (via EDID). This is not an uncommon issue with VGA video. (Sometimes it is due to the actual cable itself, as DDC communication relies on certain pins being connected to each end of the cable.) It is normally possible to manually edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ config files force a higher resolution if desired, and there are already numerous threads here on the subject of how to do that.
Use a modeline generator to calcualte the line. This is what I used
or command line cvt command
usage: cvt -v|–verbose] -r|–reduced] X Y [refresh]
Put the line in your xorg.conf monitor section either /etc/X11/xorg.conf or /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-monitor.conf which ever is apropos
log out log back in it should be now in the desktop monitor configuration tool.
