Probably the video driver is rejecting it as no match to the display's EDID report. What is your output from 'lspci | grep VGA'? If you've repeated a typo, and what you're after is actually 1280x1024, and your display actually supports 1280x1024, then there are several things you can try, some of which François ANDRIOT wrote about. When there is no provided configuration utility to build you an xorg.conf file easily, you nevertheless can build one manually. Try using http://fm.no-ip.com/Share/xorg.conf-minimal-force-DPI as a starter, but with the DisplaySize line commented out if you don't wish to force DPI. If it fails initially, try adding the following to 'Section "Monitor"': HorizSync 28-91 VertRefresh 55-76 If you have access to the specifications for your display, substitute the values it provides for the above. In openSUSE (as well as various other distros) instead of putting all configs in xorg.conf, you may find it easier to use the smaller files in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ as alluded to in http://fm.no-ip.com/Share/xorg.conf-minimal-force-DPI. Something he also did not mention that could possibly help is putting the video mode desired on the kernel cmdline, e.g. video=1280x1024@75 or video=1280x1024@60. > (?), I also saw my screen saying that the frequencies were out of range.

If you put your Xorg.0.log file where readers can see it without wrapping (e.g. pastebin), then someone may spot your specific problem. Likely you're using the VESA driver and your BIOS fails to include 1280x1024. VESA is a fallback you don't want to be using normally. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.
