    which graphics card do you have?
    try to set 24-bit colors and 1024x768 resolution through 'sax2'.
    in case, sax2 doesn't fix your problem, log in as 'root' in GUI and open /etc/X11/xorg.conf file in any editor ( gedit, kate etc )
    in section 'Screen' set default depth to 24 and add SubSection Display.
    Code:
    DefaultDepth	24

SubSection "Display"
		Depth		24
		Modes		"1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
    press Ctrl+Alt+BackSpace to restart X server.

    in case, even this couldn't fix your problem, post the Monitor and Screen section here.

    graphical user interface

    hi all,

    i set 24-bit colors and 1024X768 resolution through 'sax2' to fix the problem. but the problem was not fixed. i could not find file xorg.conf under /etc/X11 directory. i found XF86Config file under same directory which contains
    DefaultDepth 24 and there are 5 subsections "display" sections with diferrent Depths and modes. thatswhy i did not modify this file.

    Another thing that i am using SuSe linux Enterprise edition 9.

    plz help me to set my resolution.

    bye
