[Bug 441404] New: sax2: No longer write Monitor/Screen/ Device sections to allow dynamic changes in display configuration
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=441404 Summary: sax2: No longer write Monitor/Screen/Device sections to allow dynamic changes in display configuration Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Beta4 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: SaX2 AssignedTo: sndirsch@novell.com ReportedBy: sndirsch@novell.com QAContact: sax2-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com CC: eich@novell.com, mhopf@novell.com, ms@novell.com, lverhaegen@novell.com Found By: --- A static configuration of resolution (Screen section), monitor sync values (Monitor section) and driver entry (Device section) avoids dynamic changes in display configuration. SaX2 no longer writing these sections would allow to have such changes configured automatically. Xserver probes for the right driver, driver probes for the monitor(s) and selects the native resolution(s) of the monitor(s). The alignment of several monitors can be done on-the-fly with your favorite RANDR >= 1.2 tool (xrandr, krandrtry, gnome-display-properties). Prerequsite are RANDR >= 1.2 drivers like intel, radeon, radeonhd, nv (G80 only). -- 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.

We have bugs like bug #429282, in which xrandr(1) and the graphical tools do not show resolutions that the monitor supports, even though the monitor's EDID data says they are supported. Is the static configuration from sax2 the reason why this happens?
It shouldn't. It rather looks like a driver bug.
[By the way, it made me extremely happy to see from this bug that the plan is to get rid of the static configurations - kudos!]
We always wanted to get there ASAP. But no earlier :-P -- 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.
