I launch program called "855resolution" which hacks the bios into
realizing it can indeed support 1200x800 on linux. (see

Subject: [opensuse] Running Xwindows on a Acer Aspire 9500
I'm installing opensuse 10.0 on a Acer Aspire 9500(*AS9502WSMi*). I can
get though the complete GUI install with out a problem. During the
install it seems to do 800x600 for resolution. The problem comes when it
boots to Xwindows for the final time. The LCD monitor shuts off When
Xwindows starts. The monitor is on though the boot up graphic
animations. I can plug in a CRT monitor to the external port and
everything is running fine. I can control the notebook so it is up and
running. I've tried multiple resolutions. All to the same affect the
monitor shuts off. About all the on technical info I have on the monitor
is at 1440x900 it runs at 60 Hz. The books and the website call it a
Acer(r) CrystalBrite Technology. That's all I've been able to find on
it. Any body have any Ideas?
Thanks Jason
