Setting up a LG W2243S monitor

Posted on January 6, 2010 by javier

Yesterday my old monitor, a Samsung SyncMaster 152v, suddenly died. So I bought a new one, the LG W2243S-PF. Once I took it out of the box and connected all the cables, I ran sax2 to have my new monitor detected (I didn’t log out from KDE/openSUSE or shutdown my computer). Everything was correctly detected except for the vertical sync frequency (it was set to 50-75 instead of 56-75 Hz). The correct values, as shown in the manual, are the following ones:

Horizontal: 30-83 KHz
Vertical 56-75 Hz

Now I have a much bigger screen resolution. I went from 1024×768 to1920x1080 (21.6″) :D

At Night Wallpaper

Posted on September 6, 2009 by javier

I didn’t know that my At Night Wallpaper had been included in KDE 4.3.1 until Rajko Matovic, fellow openSUSE member, told me that it was included in openSUSE 11.2 Milestone 6. So I checked that and yes, it was there in desktop settings/appearance. After that, I checked what package provided it, and found out that it was included in kdeartwork4-weatherwallpapers. What a surprise! :)
BTW, I took that picture last summer in Colmenar Viejo, Castile (Spain). If you want to see other wallpapers made by me, visit my profile on KDE-Look.org ;-)

Hosting in Germany

Posted on August 30, 2009 by javier

A few days ago, I was looking for a good hosting company that offered openSUSE. Shared hosting was too restrictive, a root server was too expensive and too powerful as well, so the right choice for me was a vps (virtual private server). And what I found were very good hosting offers in Germany.
