[opensuse-autoinstall] X11 configuration
Hi, I try to configure x11 with autoyast. Doesn't seem to work as expected. In the best case the machine comes up with a resolution higher than the selected one. Example: <x11> <color_depth config:type="integer">16</color_depth> <configure_x11 config:type="boolean">true</configure_x11> <display_manager>kdm</display_manager> <enable_3d config:type="boolean">true</enable_3d> <monitor> <display> <height config:type="integer">600</height> <width config:type="integer">800</width> </display> <monitor_device>800X600@75HZ</monitor_device> <monitor_vendor> LCD</monitor_vendor> </monitor> <resolution>800x600</resolution> <window_manager>desktop-kde</window_manager> </x11> With this settings the machine comes up with a resolution of 1280x1024. The hardware can drive both resolutions, the desired and the current resolution. I've tried changing the frequency, appending hsync/vsync values, choosing Vesa as monitor vendor, etc. Nothing seems to give a reliable result. After installing the machine I can start yast in interactive mode and choose the desired resolution. No problem. Is there a secret trick I've missed? A bug?

SUSE Linux version? Did you try to use the UI for the configuration? Im asking because:
<resolution>800x600</resolution>
that's not a valid value <resolution>800x600 (SVGA)</resolution> would be for example -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug now playing - -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org

SUSE Linux version? SLES9, SLED10, SLES10. This looks like a layer 9 problem, hm ;)?
Did you try to use the UI for the configuration? Im asking because: Nope. I do automated installs with a commercial deployment system. Therefore a have a handcoded autoyast template. All relevant values (eg. display resolution) or even complete xml sections are calculated somewhere in the deployment system and than patched into the autoyast template.
<resolution>800x600</resolution>
that's not a valid value <resolution>800x600 (SVGA)</resolution> would be for example Hm, I've used mainly the AutoYaST whitepaper written by you and Anas Nashif. The x11 chapter is very, hm, clear ;), but I haven't seen this hint in it. I will try it.
