http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=495535 Summary: sax2 only accepts utility "disk" Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: All OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: SaX2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-xorg-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: chris@computersalat.de QAContact: sax2-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de; rv:1.8.1.19) Gecko/20081213 SUSE/2.0.0.19-0.1 Firefox/2.0.0.19 If I want to change display, and want to add display Information. There is an option "Utility Disk". That's bad, because you must have floppy disk drive installed. But what to do if you do not have floppy disk drive ? It would be better to be able to browse local file system. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. use a pc without floppy drive 2. start sax2 3. select Monitor 4. click on change, for changing display 5. click on Utility Disk 6. then try to add vendors display information Actual Results: Utility disk tries to access a not available floppy disk and times out. Expected Results: clicking on utility disk should recognize that there is no floppy installed and should then open a file browsing window. Try to setup iiyama Monitor PLE2207WS on a system without floppy disk. Have fun ;) Kind Reagards Chris -- 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.

Yes this is great goal to reach, but when does this happen ?
With modern video drivers with RANDR 1.2 support static X configuration is already history. I hope that we can get rid of SaX2 with opensuse 11.3 or at least with SLE12.
I don't think this is a useless feature.
Sure it is. Usually SaX2 autodetecs the monitor.
It would have been better, to do it the right way instead of implementing "Utility disk" that can only access floppy/CD. very purblind. That was wasted effort and "Utility disk" is in fact useless, when you don't have floppy/CD.
Do you know how many years ago this has been implemented !?! Removing this feature might be an option, but improving it? Forget about it. ==>wontfix -- 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.
