Re: [opensuse-autoinstall] Problems with X config

Hi Mangus,

Since there's no telling what hardware my users have, I've found that letting SAX autoconfigure seems to work the best. I do this on all SuSE/OpenSUSE versions with a post install script:

       <script>
         <chrooted config:type="boolean">true</chrooted>
         <filename>sax-config</filename>
         <interpreter>shell</interpreter>
         <location></location>
         <source><![CDATA[#!/bin/bash
test -x /usr/sbin/sax2 || exit 0
/usr/sbin/sax2 --auto
      ]]></source>
       </script>


Best Regards,

Lee

Hello,

I've created an autoinst.xml file which works pretty well. I have one
issue for which I can't find a solution.

If I do a manual install, X get's properly configured. But with my
autoinst, it does not. To start with, I had no X11 settings in there
hoping that it would all be auto detected, but not so. Then I tried to
add;
<x11>
<configure_x11 config:type="boolean">true</configure_x11>
</x11>

But that does not work either. What happens is that my graphics card is
properly detected, but the resolution is setup as 800x600 and the
desktop is setup with 1024x768 (so I get a virtual desktop). In a manual
install, this is properly setup with 1400x1050.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Magnus
