Having used S.u.S.E. since v5.3, I have always appreciate SaX2. And I also don't agree with the direction that X.org has taken in regards to displays. This works fine on an LCD(which is definitely becoming more
This decision follows a common trend: make things hot pluggable as much as possible. If you have a laptop and use it for presentations a lot you will definitely applaud the decision. If you have a setup with a box under your desk wired to a monitor on top of your desk where you can hardly reach the connectors you most likely don't care - or care if things don't work for you as expected.
common) so that the display is at it's native resolution, but it doesn't work as well for CRTs or for setting up multiple displays sometimes. Even on my dual 19" CRTS on my desktop, I set them to 1024x768. I have 2 for a reason.
However, if the tools in KDE & Gnome are able to set the displays up properly(which never worked in the past since SaX2 was the default config tool), then I'm personally not sure that SaX2 is really needed. I haven't really had time to play with 11.2 yet so I don't know how well it works, but I did have to change my son's 19" CRT down because he complained it was too high, and I was glad that SaX2 was there. HOWEVER, I didn't look in the KDE4 settings to see if it was available.
So, I guess one thing that should be considered is if the KDE & Gnome config tools are up to snuff.....
Yes, definitely. And we may have a time period during transition where things are not all that smooth. On the other hand openSUSE hasn't been an early adaptor of this new technology. While there were tools to support randr for a while already SaX2 was kept going for as long as it was feasable.
