I have installed Leap 15 on a ‘new’ computer and I can only get a max screen resolution of 1440 x 900. With the previous installation of 13.2 I had a larger resolution (can’t remember what at the moment) so the monitor is capable of larger.
Yes need the hardware info. We can not guess what you have
Graphics card is FirePro 3D Graphics V5800:
-
Device Type: Graphics card -
Interface Type: PCI Express 2.1 x16 -
Max Resolution: 2560 x 2048 -
Max Monitors Supported: 2 -
Interfaces: 2 x DVI-I (dual link) -
Graphics Engine: ATI FirePRO V5800 -
Bus Type: PCI Express 2.1 x16 -
Max Monitors Supported: 2 -
API Supported: DirectX 11, OpenGL 4.1, OpenCL 1.1 -
Manufacturer: NEC Corporation
Monitor is Hannspree XM_S LM02-19E1-100G
I have found and downloaded a driver which is supposed to be for the graphics card - amd-driver-installer-15-201-2401-x86.x86_64.run
Run installer in terminal as root gets following error message:
error: Detected X Server version ‘XServer 1.19.6_64a’ is not supported. Supported versions are X.Org 6.9 or later, up to XServer 1.10 (default:v2:x86_64:lib:XServer 1.19.6_64a:none:4.12.14-lp150.12.16-default:)
Installation will not proceed.
Hope that helps
Mike
AMD should not need an external driver because of the AMD driver in the kernel and in any case should only be installed from the repos rather then from random source.
According to Google results you are using a display whose native mode is 1440x900, so your video is working as expected. If indeed this display is capable of higher modes, manual override of its EDID will be required. AFAIK, modes higher than native are rather uncommon. When this is indeed possible I use /etc/X11/xorg.con* to do the configuration. If you paste within code tags output from the following in addition to Xorg.0.log maybe we can suggest how to proceed:
inxi -Gxx
hwinfo --gfxcard
hwinfo --monitor

I guess from this you are correct that the max resolution for this display is 1440 x 900. I don’t think I can check the previous installation now to see what the resolution was but just from the display it now appears to be smaller than it was. If I can’t change it OK.
Thanks for your help.

Apologies
Nothing encouraging there. Did you forget about uploading Xorg.0.log? Does the manual for that display say anything about supporting modes higher than 1440x900?
How do I upload a file?
Manual says 'Max resolution 1440 x 900, so probably not possible to get higher. Thanks for your advice.
Either use a web browser at http://susepaste.org/ or the command
susepaste -n mikejd -e 40320 /var/log/Xorg.0.log
in a vtty or xterm.
