Hello,
I've just tried a virtual machine installed with "minimal X";
Then I installed "trinity-tdebase" (to have a minimal TDE environment).
Then configure DISPLAYMANAGER with full path to kdm.
DISPLAYMANAGER="/opt/trinity/bin/kdm"
it works as expected.

Hi all,
I have not successfully installed neither Suse 12.2, nor Fedora 17
nor Ubuntu with TDE. Everything worked fine at 1024x768 but not 1380x1024.
I think that I saw a "TDE live CD" functioning in 1380x1024, but which one
(?), I also saw my screen saying that the frequencies were out of range. I
unsuccessfully tryed some X related commands found in Ubuntu web site. That
is, I still dont have a clean TDE installation. Can you see this type of X
problem by testing on a virtual machine?
Thank you for all,
Patrick
Hello,
the resolution problem is not related to Trinity (or any other desktop
environment).
At startup, the Xorg server queries the monitor to get all supported
resolutions. Then, it sets the display to the maximum supported
resolution. Then, you can only switch between maximum and lower
resolution from inside Trinity. (you can never use an higner resolution)
If 1280x1024 is not available, it means that, for some reason, the
autodetection fails.
You should inspect your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file to check where it happens.
I remember I had an old Hyundai Q17 monitor (17" LCD) which had a
firmware bug, it reported 1024x768 as maximum supported resolution,
whereas it supported 1280x1024. To get 1280x1024, I had to force
1280x1024 resolution in /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.
Check if your distribution has a configuration utility that allows to
force the resolution, then use it.
E.g, In Mageia control center, I must choose "Generic 1280x1024 Flat
panel" (instead of auto-detect), then set resolution to "1280x1024"
(instead of auto-detect).

If someone installed TDE to OpenSUSE 12.2, will tell
me to steps after
installing and configuring minimal OpenSUSE?
I've not yet tried TDE on OS, but
will once I've found instructions to
get it
using zypper. My usual OS installation method is from minimal X to
KDE3 via zypper.
