https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=230699 ------- Comment #23 from sh@novell.com 2007-01-10 03:51 MST ------- You also have to take older hardware into account. Not everybody buys a new computer every year. Support for lower resolutions like 1024x768 is even more crucial than support for ultra-hi-res like 1600x1000+: If something does not fit on 1024x768, there are no simple workarounds like moving subwindow borders around. You simply cannot use the software then because some important buttons will be off-screen or because some button labels will be cut off, thus making them illegible, thus making the software unusable. As a matter of fact, we still have to support 800x600. There was a huge outcry already when we dropped support for 640x480 or lower with yast2-qt. Also, don't forget that even hi-res machines sometimes have broken BIOSes that make resolutions beyond 1024x768 unusable in VESA modes, which is all that we can rely on during installation. Of course, most users see the world mainly from their own perspective, demanding that their personal case has to be optimized. But the world is not as simple as that. -- 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.
