https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=397292 Summary: YaST2 needs to 'assume' other specs must change when monitor is changed Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: RC 1 Platform: x86 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: pilotgi@gmail.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com CC: pilotgi@gmail.com Found By: --- (Not sure whether to list this as installation or YaST2, so I chose YaST2) If that summary is confusing I'll explain. Since about 10.0, when the YaST installer gets to the hardware detection point, it detects my monitor incorrectly. I'm referring to the line similar to this: Graphics Cards Graphics card: nvidia GeForce 8600 GTS Monitor: Vesa monitor (17 inches,Aspect 4:3)-(1280x1024) Since it didn't detect my Apple Cinema Display 20 inch correctly, I can understand why the other specs are incorrect. But if I click on the Vesa monitor line (these are clickable during the install) and choose LCD, the 20 inch Apple monitor is available as a choice. It's listed specifically as 'Apple Cinema Display Widescreen 20 inch'. When I choose it Yast2 returns me to the hardware detection screen and the monitor line changes from Vesa to Apple Cinema Display. But none of the other specs change. I think YaST/Sax2 should change these other specs automagically. Obviously, if it's an 20 inch monitor, it should no longer say 17. And since it's listed as a widescreen LCD, it shouldn't be Aspect 4:3. And the resolution should be 1680x1050. The only time this worked correctly for me was when I reinstalled 10.3. I skipped the graphics card section during the install and waited for the install to finish. Then I added the nvidia repos and did the updates and my monitor was detected and configured correctly. I'm still experiencing this behavior in RC1. So in an ideal world, (or ideal installer) my monitor would be detected correctly. But at least when I manually select it, the specs should change along with it.
