Maybe a script to put correct mode infos into /etc/fb.modes or something? -- 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.

Therefore 1) we need fb.modes; 2) listing all possible modes won't help; Moreover: 3) putting mode incompatible with your hw at the beginning will break displaying completely - on some analogue displays you would get complaints about incompatible display frequencies, not sure about digital output like DVI; also note that the first (i.e. default) mode in distribution fb.modes is the legacy 640x480x8bits@60Hz. What I regard as safe is a simple script which would be uses to change /etc/fb.modes according to the current hardware configuration. Yet this still might break on hardware change (like on changing display or attaching an external one to a laptop, not mentioning changing the graphical card). Adding DirectFB maintainer mskibbe to cc as changing /etc/fb.modes would affect it in the first place: any comments Michael? Is there some "correct mode" detection in DirectFB which we could rely on? -- 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.

But I prefer not to break fbset no matter if it is in the default package selection or not. Even if the patch from Olaf is just a quick hack and not a solution, it is at least in the right place. I've read your comment 69 and I've also read Michaels reply (comment 72). And yes, it's quite late in the product cycle. So we may keep the change in fbset for now. But nevertheless it would be nice to fix the real bug for the next product. Otherwise it will hit us again some day. If you don't have the time to fix it yourself at least file it upstream. Or find a new maintainer for DirectFB.

fbset can create a modeline for the currently active mode. But thats not the point. fbset is used to change the resolution. With the help of /etc/fb.modes.

OK, but how do you ensure the modelines are correct for given hw? I've experienced 'out-of-the-box' fb.modes rendering display unusable (matrox card + some older LCD). My point is, that anyone using fbset for changing resolution is able to pull it from %docdir (probably would like to edit it anyway).

It does not matter much how many people may use that feature.

I agree with that, but...

This is not about SLE11.

.. possibly breaking SLE RCs doesn't seem to be the best thing either. I guess everyone is afraid of exactly that. -- 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.
