[New: openFATE 312137] Equivalent of nvidia-settings for Nouveau
Feature added by: Audard Guillaume (AGui) Feature #312137, revision 1 Title: Equivalent of nvidia-settings for Nouveau openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Audard Guillaume (agui) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The open source driver for Nvidia GPU, Nouveau, is more and more performant. It is already fully usable instead of the proprietary driver. However, there is no GUI to configure display. SaX2 module is not available anymore in YaST in openSUSE 11.4, and there is no way to make modifications such as defining the dpi. Developping an equivalent of nvidia-settings for Nouveau would push even more users to switch to open source drivers. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312137
