https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=230086 Summary: YaST (possibly SaX) dual screens handled partly as one Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: x86 OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: gudmundpublic@gmail.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com CC: gudmundpublic@gmail.com The problem picture: * Dual screens *still* don't *seem* to get recognized during installation (clicking on the main header to make settings only gets me a referral to the other clickable subtexts, with only one screen listed - no option for adding another screen). * Settings for only one of the screens (Nokia in this case) get probed and autoset, automatically giving whatever other screens there are the same settings, regardless if they're appropriate or not - potentially damaging to the screen! This is why I've set Severity to "Major". For the record: the screen's still alive, but was so out of range it wouldn't display any lifesigns. * Dual (or even multiple) screen handling dialogue misses diversified settings dialogues for the respective heads and screens, including a possibility to assign which screen should be treated as right, left etc. * Apparently, checkbox for dual head configuration may give cloned or single screen, no matter what is ticked. * Testing and *all* other operations are excruciatingly slow (comparable to x286 with 4MB RAM) at least until the workaround has been applied (see below). Computer data: CPU: Dual core x86 Family 15 Model 4 Stepping 3 GenuineIntel ~3612 Mhz BIOS: Date: 10/13/05 11:26:44 Ver: 08.00.10 RAM: 1 047 788 kB Graphics: ATI Radeon X300/X550 Series Left hand screen, via adapter on digital port on graphics card: Samtron 96P Right hand screen, via VGA port on graphics card: Nokia XPRO446 Workaround: Tick dual screen handling, use identifier to decide which screen is which, then lower resolution and frequency to some very safe range for the non-working screen, test and cycle carefully on upwards to settle the sweet spot. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
