http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=534895 Summary: Installation resolutions should include wide-screen ones Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Milestone 6 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: mar.pollo@gmail.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; it; rv:1.9.1.2) Gecko/20090730 SUSE/3.5.2-2.1 Firefox/3.5.2 GTB5 AutoPager/0.5.2.2 (http://www.teesoft.info/) The installation can be done in all the standard resolutions, like 800x600, 1024x768 and 1280x1024. Recent notebooks and netbooks usually have wide-screen screens (and sometimes even desktops) with resolutions like 1024x600, 1280x768, 1280x800 or 1400x1050. These resolutions should be natively supported, to enhance user-friendlyness during the install process. Users that are just trying linux might even think that their monitor's resolution is not supported and stop the installation. Note: I checked that 1280x768 is not supported, but maybe some other resolutions that I said are already available. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Hanssen 2009-08-30 09:56:17 MDT --- I will aggree it would be wise to be able to select the correct screen resolution during the first installation phase. That is, include all standard W(ide) resolutions with aspect ration 1.6 for the F3 button that can be listed with SaX2: 1280x800 (WXGA) 1440x900 (WXGA+) 1680x1050 (WSXGA+) 1920x1200 (WUXGA) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

For the installed system the native driver is used, which picks up the native mode for the monitor automatically. Unless we decide to switch to native driver also for installation I need to mark this one as INVALID. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

...... For the installed system the native driver is used, which picks up the native mode for the monitor automatically.

And when the native mode for the monitor hasn't been automatically picked up on logon after the installation - it's a bug? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
