After 6 year I've decided to buy a new computer, a mini-pc by AsRock (second-hand, unfortunately I've not enough money to buy it new). So my old AMD-Sempron (OpenSUSE 11.2) can have a rest.
CPU = Intel
® Core™ i3-370M Mobile Processor
Graphics card = NVIDIA
® GeForce GT425M Graphics
(see
Vision 3D Series - ASRock Inc.)
Few days ago I've installe openSUSE 12.2 from the scratch (KDE-plasma environment). All is gone ok, but today... I've discovered that I cannot select a resolution higher than 1024x768 (on my old PC was 1280x1024 using the same monitor). World has crashed over me... I'm falling into depression... and life seems dark now!
I've downloaded and installed the driver listed in "SDB:NVIDIA drivers" with Yast but nothing has changed (see
SDB:NVIDIA drivers - openSUSE - last button of three).
When I go in KDE->configure desktop settings->display I can only choose resolution of 1024x768 or lower (800x600, 640x480, etc.)
After I have installed the blabla-kernel-blabla listed in the nvidia repository for 12.2 (again, using Yast) but, after restarting, screen resolution was 640x480! :O
Under desperation, I'have uninstalled all and the default nvidia driver was restored automatically by Yast. Now I'm again at the starting point (but openGL support seems gone since those screen saver doesn't run)
Now I'm in the middle of nowhere, what can I do? :'(
By the way, I have a question about this: I'have plugged the vga cable into the DVI connector using a DVI-VGA adapter (the asrock mini-pc has only two video connector: HDMI or DVI, no VGA port at all). Maybe an higher screen resolution is forbidden when using the DVI port? It can be? :question:
Please keep in account that I'm not a super-expert of linux. More than 6 year are passed since my last adventure in configuring opensuse (I still remember the help of OldCPU in solving my problems).
