size display

linux set size display auto 1024x768, i need to change size 1152x864 and then
i restarted, size was the last 1024x768
how turn off “auto”

Here are some questions:

  • What version of openSUSE?
  • What make and model graphics card do you have?
  • What desktop environment (e.g. KDE or GNOME)
  • How did you change to 1152x864 before you restarted and it went back to 1024x768?

open suse 11.3
ati radeon x1600
KDE
the first i changed the size to 1152x864 and the restarted
the size didn’t change (why linux sets 1024x768 )

Can you please post output of

xrandr

in Konsole?

You appear to be using 1152x864 at the moment. Did you change the resolution in KDE System Settings -> Display and Monitor?

yes i did the resolution but if i’m restarting the resolution will be 1024x768

This should work by switching to 1152x864 at KDE login. Run this in Konsole:


echo "xrandr -s 1152x864" >> ~/.kde4/Autostart/fixres.sh
chmod +x ~/.kde4/Autostart/fixres.sh

Then restart and log in. Does that work?

linux-wmiq:/home/titkov # echo “xrandr -s 1152x864” >> ~/.kde4/Autostart/fixres.sh
bash: /root/.kde4/Autostart/fixres.sh: No such file or directory

You are in root mode at the moment. Run is as your normal user by pressing Control+D or typing:


exit

To get back to your normal user. Then try it again

it works!!!:):slight_smile:
thank you, thank you

No problem :wink:

Have fun :slight_smile:
