Intel GMA 965, fixed to 800x600 res

Hi, my first post in suse forums.

I use linux mint normally but wanted to give suse 11 a try so I did, in linux mint 5 everything worked out of the box. But in suse im having problems with the video.

My system appears to detect my graphic card(intel gma 965) but when I try to change resolution to 1280x800 no effects are shown.

Right now my screen looks like a mosaic with the usable screen stucked in the left upper corner, and then a small piece of screen appears below it mirroring everything I do on the upper screen. To the right everything is black except for a line that separates the squares in the “mosaic”.

Thank you, Arturo

You have to set the refresh rate in sax to 65Hz and it will work.
