YaST — Configuration
‘Expert’ Here, enter some options for your screen. In the upper selection
field, define the method to use for the calculation of the screen reso-
lution and screen geometry. Do not change anything unless the mon-
itor is addressed incorrectly and the display is not stable. Further-
more, you can change the size of the displayed image and activate the
power saving mode DPMS.
Caution
Configuring the Monitor Frequencies
There are safety mechanisms, but you should still be very careful
when manually changing the allowed frequencies. False values
may destroy your monitor. If in doubt, refer to the manual of the
monitor.
Caution
Graphics Card
The graphics card dialog has two tabs: ‘General’ and ‘Expert’. In ‘General’,
select the vendor of your graphics card on the left side and the model on
the right.
‘Expert’ offers more advanced configuration possibilities. On the right side,
turn your screen to the left or to a vertical position (useful for some turn-
able TFT screens). The entries for the BusID are only relevant if you operate
several screens. Normally, nothing needs to be changed here. You should
not modify the card options unless you have experience in this field and
know what the options mean. If necessary, check the documentation of
your graphics card.
Colors and Resolutions
Here, three tabs, ‘Colors’, ‘Resolution’, and ‘Expert’, are available.
‘Colors’ Depending on the hardware used, select a color depth of 16, 256,
32768, 65536, or 16.7 million colors (4, 8, 15, 16, or 24 bit). For a rea-
sonable display quality, set at least 256 colors.
