Resolution up to 1440x900 on laptop (intel 945GM)


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I am using opensuse 10.3 on a laptop Packard Bell Bu45.

This laptop has an Intel 945GM graphics card. Despite all my efforts i am not able to set my monitor resolution to 1440x900. I tried choosing a different monitor, even LCD 1440x900@60hz and nothing works. I can only set to 1280...

Xconfigig was edit to 32 bits but X wont start this way.. Im stuck... how can I enable this resolution?

anyone has this issue before?

"despite all your efforts"? What does that mean, exactly? Have you installed xserver-xorg-video-intel? You haven't really given a lot for us to work on - not even posting your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file for anyone to look at. :ermm:

This link shows how to do this in Ubuntu. I would imagine that using the SUSE commands to install (not apt-get) would help in your situation.

Or, according to this page:

http://intellinuxgraphics.org/user.html

You might need to install the 915resolution video graphics package.

If you haven't tried installing:

915resolution

then you might give it a go.

I don't know what package manager OpenSuse uses, but in Ubuntu you can go to System-->Administration-->Synaptic Package Manager and do a search for that and install that way.

It looks like it might work for your problem.

Sorry duplicate response! Yes, Mark I had that problem on a Dell and that was the solution. :D

Hi, Thank you for replying...
