On SLES, without graphical interface, my screen resolution is currently at 1280*1024.

Try running sax2 from the command line and see if you can change display settings using this utility.

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…

####################
Section “Screen”
Identifier “LCD”
Device “nv6200″
Monitor “vg712s”
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection “Display”
Viewport 0 0
Virtual 1280 960
Depth 16
Modes “1280×960″ “1024×768″ “800×600″
EndSubSection
SubSection “Display”

EndSubSection
EndSection
