This usage of "-" and "_" looks ugly, from a non-programmer POV.
If that's common understanding, it could be changed to dash always. The only thing that might be awkward about it is that it is a change.
Why do these names need numbers in them when there is only one of each sort?
I thought I had some logic in place that doesn't add numbers if there is only one. Guess I didn't do it right :-]
Sounds like we will have a change anyway.
Also, I think we have a consensus, that DVI-I and DVI-D don't need to be specifically named that way (DVI should be enough). I still would keep DVI-A, due to the awkwardness of this connector.
So we would get DVI-A(-1) instead of DVI-A_1 before
Please don't use the same separator for the connector type and the enumeration. DVI-A-1 looks awkward to me. If people don't like the '_' I'd suggest to use ':' instead. Like: DVI-A:1
DVI(-1) instead of DVI-D_1 before DVI(-1)/digital instead of DVI-I_1/digital before DVI(-1)/analog instead of DVI-I_1/analog before
I think we also agree on the need of a specific HDMI connector.
Yes.
"LVDS" might be technically correct, but is probably known to much less people than VGA and DVI. "PANEL" is probably better-known, but there could be and even better word?
The laptop monitor is called a panel, I don't know a different word for that...
The term LVDS is rather technical - yet used by all other drivers. Cheers, Egbert. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: radeonhd+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: radeonhd+help@opensuse.org
