hi i have just put a Geforce 7300 GT graphic card into my machine the problem is the max resolution I can get is 1024x768 at 60 hz the screen is a benq fp71g+. also the screen goes blank when i click on the display icon in system settings.
i know that the screen can be run at 1280x1024 so I don’t know where the problem is. Any help would be great.
Upload the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log to
Set ‘Delete After’ to never, and post the link to it here.
The output of ‘xrandr’ command will be useful too.
Are you using the proprietary driver?
the link is SUSE Paste for Xorg.0.log
the output of xrandr is
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 768, maximum 4096 x 4096
DVI-I-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
VGA-1 connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm

Ok, the Xorg.0.log shows that your using the nouveau driver. You might want to consider using the proprietary nvidia driver instead. It is recommended you follow this guide.
However, if you prefer to stay with the open source driver, you may try uncommenting the horizontal sync and vertical refresh lines in /etc/X11/xotg.conf.d/50-monitor.conf
Edit with root privileges like this
kdesu kwrite /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-monitor.conf
or if using Gnome
gnomesu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-monitor.conf
Remove the ‘#’ (comment) characters from the 2 lines involved. Once you’ve finished, save, then restart the X-server with CTRL-ALT-Backspace (twice).
