Hi testers, Yesterday, I did an install of 11.2 with a friend. He had some old Athlon machine with an AGP NVidia Geforce 4 MX440 and a 17" CRT. isolinux proposed a resolution of 1600x1200 which we changed to 1280x1024 After install, it rebooted and started YaST2 Second Stage in X11 at highest resolution (1600x1200) which the monitor could not handle. Interrupting this with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace continued boot-up without second stage, which meant that no user-account (just root) was there. We needed to run second-stage config manually. SaX2 failed to work, so the only thing that helped to get X11 was to copy /etc/X11/xorg.conf.install to xorg.conf Of course X11 was slow using frame-buffer or vesa... and it took some effort to get the commercial Nvidia driver to work (the community repos via yast2/ncurses were very helpful there) Overall, I would like to see a much better user-experience in 11.3 e.g. by not having X11 run at highest possible resolution during critical parts of the installation without asking or telling the user before that (and even ignoring the setting made for the install)... Maybe Nouveau/KMS could help, too. Maybe there is some other place than xorg.conf to configure the maximum resolution of your monitor? Or some place where templates for xorg.conf sections can be found?
