Same problem here. Had 10.2 working ok and got 10.3 in hopes maybe a little speed increase. Maybe after I get xorg to work with dual heads again. Sax2 does not seem to make any changes for Monitor2 (Hansol 720E). It does configure for Monitor1 (Samsung SyncMaster 900p), but Monitor2 says out of range 96kHZ 89mHZ. These numbers would be in the range of the Hansol, but these are the numbers for Monitor1. xorg.conf has nothing in it for Monitor2. Seems Sax2 is forcing the use of Monitor1 settings on Monitor2? That would give an out of range… trying to drive a 17in monitor with 19in settings.

I have been working with OpenSUSE 10.3 for a couple of months now and the experience has been great! It was easy to install and everything went fine. I consider this one the best OS I have worked with. Thanks for the good work. I just hope version 11 can top it off.

Hey guys I am hoping someone can help me out. I am attempting to install OpenSuse 10.3 to a Dell Optiplex 745. When I boot off of the cd I see the kernel loading and get to the welcome screen and then nothing! I have tried swapping out the ram, hdd and cd drives to no effect. Hopefully someone can help. I really want to use this OS!!

I upgraded from suse 10.2 to 10.3 for no particular reason and am now considering going back. In 10.2 I could plug an external flat panel display into my laptop and use the “personal settings” applet to adjust the display to the other monitor. Suse 10.3 says it hasn’t got “scripts” for the new xrandr 1.2 so this won’t work.
I’ve tried all morning to get the dual head monitor working with no luck. sax2 is absolutely useless for configuring a second monitor! All I can get the second monitor to do is display a portion of the laptop monitor (which has more resolution).
Why is such a common thing so hard? Windoze has been able to do this for years!

I installed Opensuse 10.3 yesterday on my old laptop (Compaq Presario XL111)… everything was fine until it started to download the online reposirories…

the bar showed the time to finish the instalation was (3.42… hrs)

when i went back to check the progress on the instalation the computer was freeze , no mouse , or any key responding… even the power button didn’t work !

my laptop is dead now!
