Screen resolution problem

[Sid Boyce]

After latest zypper dup screen size had defaulted to 1024x768 and cannot
be changed to anything higher.
On other boxes that have not been rebooted I have 1920x1080.
# xrandr
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 768
default connected primary 1024x768+0+0 0mm x 0mm
1024x768 0.0*
800x600 0.0
640x480 0.0
slipstream:/home/lancelot # xrandr --fb 1920x1080
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
xrandr: screen cannot be larger than 1024x768 (desired size 1920x1080)

What gfxchip?
What DE?
What driver is reported used in Xorg.0.log?
Which kernel?

Problem was the nouveau modules were not being loaded.
I had problems with dracut not configuring the network so I went back to
module-init-tools.
"hwinfo --gfxcard" said nouveau was inactive.
Went into runlevel 3, "modprobe nouveau", "init 5" to get it sane again.
