Comment 142 for bug 898390

Hello Franky,
In openSUSE 12.1 the problem is solved as you follow the following steps to save the
corrected settings in System Settings/Display and Monitor/Seize & Orientation:
1 Press the "Save as default button"
2 Press the "Apply button"
3 Press the "Accept Configuration button in the pop up window"

After this the xrandr command displayed the following:
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 3360 x 1050, maximum 4096 x 4096

In openSUSE 12.2 KDE LiveCD x86-64.iso the situation is different. The corrected Seize & Orientation settings, saved as described above, generate the same xrandr display. However logging out of KDE and logging back in does not use the corrected settings while the xrandr command display is still the same as described above. To correct the situation you have to reexecute the Seize & Orientation settings and save them as described.
