Ok Here's the specs : Dual 1000 Mhz(intel cpu) Asus CUV4X-Dual MoBo ATI Radeon 7200 64 Mb 768 Mb Ram Running on Linux SuSe 9.2 Monitor : Viewsonic P810-3m 21"
The Problem : My Screen resolution is set to default to 1600 x 1200 and no matter how i change it in Sax2 or Yast or by the desktop configuration to put it to 1024 or 1280 the only thing it does is to be smaller in the up left corner , I even try it on a Samsung 17" and it does the same thing !! No Matter what i do with the screen resolution its only full screen at 1600 x 1200 ! I've try ctrl+alt+ +or- and it doesnt fix ! What is the problem ?
