[ale] Changing screen resolution

[Davis, Ringo Lester]

It was 2 steps to get it to change. I had to go into Yast like you said
below and set that to a higher resolution, then I could go into the
screen properties in KDE and set the resolution there and it worked.
Thanks,
Ringo

You actually should do this through Yast.  Select: Hardware -> Graphics 
card and monitor

Check to make sure that your card is properly recongized.  It would be 
helpful to have the specs on the card and screen. (freq. and stuff)
