Reinstall for nothing and your headaches for free! by XndeX 2006-03-30 07:12:03
Well I figured out why some games were not working in SuSE last night.
I had my monitor on to high of a resolution!
I reinstalled last night and I had the same problems with the same games.
So I tried adjusting the resolution to 800 X 600 @ 85 hrz.
That actually worked! Most all games are now playable.
Some I can live without. I mainly wanted Armagetron and Chromium.
But it was good to reinstall anyways. I made my Swap file larger to take into accout for more ram.
I don't know if that was a good idea or bad but so far it's working fine.
Went from a 1.0GB swap to a 3.0GB (I have 1.5 GB of mem)
800 X 600 looks just way out of place on a 21" monitor

Later and thanks again!!!!
