‘Resolution’ When the hardware is detected, the resolution is queried.
Therefore, the module usually only offers resolution and color depth
combinations that your hardware can display correctly. This keeps
the danger of damaging your hardware with incorrect settings very
low in SUSE LINUX. If you change the resolution manually, consult
the documentation of your hardware to make sure the value set can
be displayed.
‘Expert’ In addition to the resolutions offered in the previous tab, this tab
enables you to add your own resolutions, which will subsequently be
included for selection in the tab.
Virtual Resolution
Every desktop has a certain resolution that is displayed over the full screen
of the monitor. Additionally, it is possible to set the resolution larger than
the visible area of the screen. If you move the mouse beyond the margins
of the desktop, the virtual part of the desktop is displayed on screen. This
increases the available work space.
