Description David Bailey 2008-05-10 01:03:35 UTC 
Running on VMware (Server 1.04)

Installed VMware tools
Used Sax2 to configure the desktop (to say 1024x768)
Sax2 tested OK

Restart X -> comes up in 800x600

Can use KRandRTray (Screen resize and rotate) to resize the screen to the desired size, but the desktop stays at 800x600.  The remaining area is grey.  Can use the space, but the taskbar is "always on top" of whatever you put across it.

NB.  Tried a good xorg.conf file from a OpenSUSE 10.2 VMware machine.  Same result.

Wrong order. Bug in SaX2. Should already be fixed for Beta3. 

The second problem is that the monitor has not been detected. Therefore modes > 800x600 are rejected. Please specify your monitor in SaX2, if it's not detected. "800x600@60" is definitely not the right one if you want to use
a resolution of 1024x768 or higher.

==> fixed for Beta3.
