Excellent question. The only thing I know is that it is now - in 11.2 - all done with "smoke and mirrors" and that it is all done "magically" at the time of booting the system.
It is done "on the fly", at run time.
It's not new to the Linux world... new to openSUSE though. Ubuntu has been doing this for at least one prior release... Magic happens at boot, and somehow it all seems to work :-P I'm happy it works, but... I'd like to know more about how this magic works for when it goes wrong - that said, it hasn't gone wrong yet... auto detects odd resolutions correctly etc as well. (eg 1024x600 resolution on my netbook is set correctly on first boot). C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
