Yes the issue is that it isn't auto detected by Sax2/hwinfo and one has to change all the settings manually. The output of hwinfo --monitor is: 51: None 00.0: 10000 Monitor [Created at fb.71] Unique ID: rdCR.EY_qmtb9YY0 Hardware Class: monitor Model: "Generic Monitor" Vendor: "Generic" Device: "Monitor" Resolution: 1280x1024@77Hz Driver Info #0: Max. Resolution: 1280x1024 Vert. Sync Range: 50-90 Hz Hor. Sync Range: 31-82 kHz Config Status: cfg=new, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown So it will appear as a VESA 1280x1024 monitor in Sax2, which is of course incorrect (looking at the specification in my first post). I can imagine less database entries would be preferable, there are already hundreds of monitors listed which makes it increasingly difficult to find the right one. I think that perhaps that Sax2 would benefit from a search field which dynamically updates as you type in more characters, but I guess that would be a nice start for another feature request. I should mention that the proprietary Nvidia drivers do detect that it's a (generic) Samsung monitor with a maximum resolution of 1680x1050, so if you run nvidia-settings (As root) after Sax2 you would be ok. Sax2 afterwards recognizes the monitors as LCD --> 1680x1050. It does give me a strange message when I start it up after running nvidia-settings saying: "Cannot Deactivate All Displays - At least one display must be active" and then continues to function normally, but looking on the Internet this seems to be 'normal' behaviour. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Here are the steps I use: cd ~ms/CDB ./export -e monitors > Monitors patch -p0 < ~ms/CDB/Monitors.dif ===> include the Monitors file into svn and check the changes the Monitors.dif file contains information which is not handled by the cdb. Unfortunately nobody ever took care to allow these setting to be done in the cdb too so I always need to patch the exported result -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Some other big software companies could learn something from that. Just as a final general question. Once this patch is applied, how does the update reach me? Is it automatically distributed via the openSUSE 11.0 update repositories or do I need to add a custom build / svn repository to my package manager? Thanks again. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
