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.

I tried to change logon screen but program systemsettings hangs.
u have to use correct vga value in the menul.lst to get to the logon screen
u must be having this fault in booting also.
640x480 vga=769
800x600 vga=771
1024x768 vga=773
1280x1024 vga=775
1600x1200 vga=796
on the end of the kernel line, BUT YOU will need values for your own display devices.
this u will have to find out.
Ref:
Arch Linux Forums / GRUB menu.lst vga=xxx[/Solved]
or try vga values from:
[Xen-users] xen “vga=” console mode set in ubuntu /boot/grub/men - Xen Source](http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2008-05/msg00670.html)
WARNING: Dont use a wrong vga value

Sorry for broken link. The situation is so

I can add that other screens are OK (desktop and boot screen)
Thanks but this is advice not for my occasion. My boot screen is OK. I have troubles only in logon screen.
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?
This doesn’t help and bug still exists.
Resolution is 1280x800 (60 mhz). Video card is Intel® GMA X3100 (15.4" WXGA (1280х800)). Where can I get know driver?
Open a terminal, go su and do
lspci -k
it will spew out a load of info, here is an eg; of my graphics, it’s near the top of the output in the terminal
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c)
Kernel modules: **intelfb **
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c)
It is at beginning of output
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile PM965/GM965/GL960 Memory Controller Hub (rev 03)
Kernel driver in use: agpgart-intel
Kernel modules: intel-agp

00:1a.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) USB UHCI Controller #4 (rev 03)
Kernel driver in use: uhci_hcd

Am I right that no driver is installed?
What do you see in yours here Yast Hardware Graphics/Monitor

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 changed this setting but this didn’t affect.
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.
please post /boot/grub/menu.lst
look at vga=
I think yours should be vga=0x367
in the default boot
Maybe this will solve it
I know it mentioned earlier, just check.

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.
