Change screen resolution in SUSE Linux to 1024*768
On SLES, without graphical interface, my screen resolution is currently at 1280*1024.
I need to change to 1024*780 which is the maximum supported by my new rack console.
Can someone tell me how to change it?
Thanks!

Answer Wiki:
Go to Failsafe Mode > Enter your user name as root and password
now type:#sax2 (if the above is not work) then
#sax2 -m 0=vesa (It leads to yast2 > hardware > graphics then set the lower
resolution, (0 means zero)), if it not works then
# sax2 -a (This command automatically tries to load GUI), if it also fails then,
# sax2 -l (it leads to load resolution graphics) to know more type man sax2

If you can’t, locate xorg.conf and change “screen” section to substitute 1024×768 for 1280×1024 in “modes” lines and, of course, “1024 768″ for “1280 1024″ in “virtual” lines.
If you start X-server with startx from commandline, you can just create a new xorg.conf in the home directory – it takes over the system-wide…
The “screen” section in xorg.conf looks like this, and “device” and “monitor” lines should refer to real “device” and “monitor” sections in the file…
