Screen resolution is not permanent

opensuse 11.3 w/latest updates
KDE desktop

Whatever resolution I choose, 1600x1200 is preferred, it is reset to a default of 1024x768 when I log out. I use the “Configure Desktop” option to set the resolution. I can find no other method to do so.

The graphics adapter is an ATI hd3200. I have installed the fglrx driver. I cannot fine the “Control Center” for the driver.

How do I make the selected resolution permanent?

To access the fglrx Control Center go to Konsole and become root (by first doing su -). Then the command is

amdcccle

Can you change the resolution in there?

Yes, running amdcccle did the trick. Thanks!

After stumbling across the same problem with SuSE 11.4 and trying to figure it out on a standard DELL hardware, I found there is a “Save as Default” button at the bottom left side of
“Start -> Applications -> Configure Desktop -> Hardware -> Display and Monitor -> Size and Orientation” dialog.
Pressing “Apply” button only stores it only for the session.

Cost me a day.
