I have just installed Tumbleweed onto a Lenovo M92p Thinkcentre.
Install went well (and it is the only OS installed).
However, I cannot set the screen resolution higher than 1024x768
The screen is an AOC with a recommended resolution of 1680x1050
It is temporarily connected via a vga cable until the displayport > hdmi cable I have ordered arrives.
However, I believe with the vga cable it should still be capable of the recommended resolution
problem is solved (kind of) . . .
Displayport cable arrived today so have plugged that in instead.
Reboot and have a very nice looking 1920X1080@60hz display - no intervention required on my part at all.
If I just create an xorg.conf and put the info in there I am not able to load plasma on reboot
No, no, no… you seem to have confused yourself with the two methods described. The second (system-wide) method uses Xorg configuration and the xrandr command was not required at all!
Yes, the manual intervention was only required for the problematic (or no) EDID with the use of the analogue VGA cable. In general, no configuration is required. The DP cable is the way to go.
oh, I didn’t know. I merely copy / pasted the command from the link you provided and substituted the resolution I wanted
No, no, no… you seem to have confused yourself with the two methods described. The second (system-wide) method uses Xorg configuration and the xrandr command was not required at all!
I didn’t try and combine these methods. After the trouble with xrandr I rebooted and followed the instructions from the link of what to add to xorg.conf - but after a further reboot couldn’t get into plasma.
But it’s all irrelevant now that I have the DP cable in place
