Whenever I login or restart the computer, my resolution gets reset. I think it may have to do with my setup being connected to a 18.5" HDTV. Is there a way to set custom resolutions in the OS, so that Nvidia and OpenSUSE can recognize them?
03:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation ION LE VGA [10de:087e] (rev b1)
Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI] Device [1025:0222]
Kernel driver in use: nvidia
For a VGA monitor connection, here is my suggestion:
Open a terminal and type"
xrandr
to show your display device name(s) and available display modes.
When I execute this command on my computer here is what I get:

Create/edit a minimal xorg.conf with an editor like this for KDE:
kdesu kwrite /etc/X11/xorg.conf
For Gnome:
gnomesu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Create/adjust the monitor section like this for example:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "**default**"
Option "Preferred Mode" "**1920x1200**"
EndSection
Notice that I placed the name default and 1920x1200 in bold. However, your values will not or need not be in bold. The bold type is just used to show what I am using where in my example.
Thank You,
