i've just installed openSuse 10.2 on my laptop.
the screen size is 17" 1440x900
i've tried to change the screen resolution from Yast2 --> hardware ---> Graphics card and monitor. whenever i click on it it opens a status bar that last for 3 or 4 seconds then nothing happens nor opens.
how can i fix that ?

If yast won't change your setting so change it manually go to /etc/X11 and edit the file xorg.conf and try to add something in it like ,(make a backuo copy before):

Section "Screen"
> Identifier "Primary Screen"
> Device "Primary Card"
> Monitor "Primary Monitor"
> DefaultDepth 16

Subsection "Display"
> Depth 16
> Modes "1440x900" "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "720x576"
> "720x480" "640x480" "640x400" "512x384" "480x300" "400x300" "320x240"
