Good Day.
After updating to kde 4.2 on opensuse 11 I met some troubles with different applications, but hapelly I coped with them.
But the last bug is an incorrect logon screen. It really irritates me each time I see it. The problem is that green part of picture doesn’t get to side of the monitor. http://imageshost.ru/link/6124376e5e1aed5da41adabbaf2e0487
I tried to change logon screen but program systemsettings hangs.
Try this. Open YaST and go to System and then /etc/sysconfig Editor. Then expand Desktop, Display manager, and select DISPLAYMANAGER_RANDR_MODE_auto. Try deleting everything in the settings line (starting with 1024 and ending with Vsync). Then click Finish and yes to the changes (should only be that one configuration).
For some reason, the developers feel that forcing 1024x768 for the login screen is a good idea (regardless of how much like crap it looks AND the xorg.conf display resolution). Removing that line lets the login screen look sane for me (i.e. not like crap). What resolution is your desktop running at, graphics card driver, etc?
In YaST, you could try changing your display resolution to 1280x800 (instead of the current 1280x1024). You could also try changing the monitor type to LCD at 1280x800@60HZ. Also, you could try going to System Settings, Advanced, Login Manager, the Theme tab, and changing the login theme to Oxygen (just to see if it makes any difference). Are you auto logging in or typing a password? If auto-login, try disabling that to see if it looks correct prior to typing your password and logging in (could be something in your profile). Using compiz or desktop effects at all?
I change theme to oxygen but suse theme continued to be shown. After relogin I checked whether I have applied changes: I was right and oxygen theme is checked as a current theme.
I don’t use autologin or compiz but the last one is installed.

I use 317.
I tried to use 367 but system said that it didn’t recognize it and offered a list of available. The biggest resolution was 1024x788(? do not remember exactly) 32 bit - 0x318.
