Anyone using Suse 10.2 and a Dell 2405???

[The PIT]

Cos I can't get the damn thing to run at its native res 1920 x 1200.

It's Shuttle xpc with a Intel 915 graphics card using the analogue input.

If I set to 1920 using Yast I get cannot display this mode which suggests it's sticking 75hz through the input which isn't supported.

Same if I use sax2 from the command prompt without X running.

Tried the solution here

and various others. So far the nearest I got is 1600 x 1200 at 59hz

Hi Pit,

see if any of these resolution packages would help:

64 bit pc - http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat...86_64.rpm.html

32 bit pc - http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat....i586.rpm.html

hey Pit,

I just got myself a Dell 2407FPW and my other OS is SuSE 10.2, (posting this from SuSE) and have no problems using it at 1920x1200 res so its not the monitor. however i am using a VGA card and using DVI,can you try updating this patch i saw using YAST. Should work for your situation.

YAST -> Online Update -> Patches

Fix for sax2 users unable to activate the selected resolution on Intel onboard graphics cards

PS : My monitor driver in sax2 is Dell 2405FPW anyways

Funny how you mention yast as I'm doing loads of updates right now. Didn't see that patch listed but I just told it to get all the sax2 and x11 stuff. Fingers crossed.
Chances of working 1/10 but you never know.
Could you post your xorg.conf too see what it's put under the screen and monitor sections.
Funny some guys were slagging this guy off because he complained rightly that you have to spend to much time in a terminal window or at the command prompt trying to sort out Linux bugs.
There hasn't been a single Linux install I've done yet where I haven't had to spend some time at the command prompt.

As expected it didn't work. Sax also thinks it's disabled the hardware acceleration as well.

Well sounding horribly like winblows.
Fixed it with update for an update etc.

Linux is getting more Windows every day.
