Mates,
This is one of the things that is driving my crazy. I have 2 boxes that have identical Acer 2216W displays. Both had previously run SuSE 10.0 and the Yast Monitor database had the exact display "Acer 2216W" that yast would automatically choose and properly setup under sax2.
First machine updated December time frame, yast had and properly selected the "Acer 2216W" for the 10.3 install. This Monday I had to update the other machine and Yast now selected the Vesa --> 1280x1024 monitor. I thought, "no problem, I'll just select the right one." WRONGO! The "Acer 2216W" monitor is nowhere to be found in this install. WTF? These two installs are all from the same .iso? How could that be?
Is there or was there some monitor database update that should have been utilized in this install that wasn't? If so, where do I get it? Has anyone else seen such random nonsense on the installs they are doing?
It is a pain to have to calculate modelines and manually set monitor width heights and H and W freq. ranges when they were just there in the last install and they were there on this very same box for the 10.0 install.
Grumbling, but concerned. Can you help!
This is why, before I do an install to a new release, I first do this: # cp -r /etc /home since I don't overwrite /home during the process. That way, if I need anything from the old configuration, it's immediately evailable.
