From the log: got signal 11 at YCP file /usr/share/YaST2/clients/x11_proposal.ycp:108
In line 108 XLib::getActiveResolution is called. The only operations this function does (besides shift, push and return) are calls to SaX. I think (can not prove) the signal 11 is coming from sax here. Sax maintainers would you please have a look. -- 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.

This still does not resolve the fact that installation crashes.
Sure it will resolve the issue.
If a user users the automated features of openSUSE 11 install then no user configuration is installed.
This is a wrong assumption. A usable single card setup will be created instead of trying to create multicard setup and crash at that point.
openSUSE 10.3 handles the 2 cards and setups up the video has a VESA device ok. The question is what's changed?
Xserver, drivers, ...
This needs to be looked into for openSUSE 11.1 and SLED 11 because dual cards are becoming very common in PC's and Laptops.
I'm aware of this. This is the reason I marked Bug #381644 with high priority. -- 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.
