Monitor/Sound configuration, keyboard layout, kdm
Hi, when I specify the monitor using the configuration system, this is ignored during installation. It seems that the monitor is detected via DDC and only VESA standard modes are used. Does anyone know how to fix this? The <monitor> section of my config file looks is as follows: <monitor> <display> <max_hsync config:type="integer" >94</max_hsync> <max_vsync config:type="integer" >160</max_vsync> <min_hsync config:type="integer" >30</min_hsync> <min_vsync config:type="integer" >48</min_vsync> </display> <monitor_device>ECOMO 19H98</monitor_device> <monitor_vendor>ELSA</monitor_vendor> </monitor> I also configured a sound card using the configuration system. The sound card is working after installation but when logging in using kde for the first time, the SuSE hardware detection comes up, detecting new sound hardware. I could turn off the hardware detection, but this isn't really a solution... The third thing I can't get to work is installing the system with language english but with a german keyboard layout. I always get the english keyboard layout when using english language. To get a german keyboard layout, I have to configure language 'Deutsch', resulting in <language>de_DE</language>. I use kdm as my login manager. After installation is done, kdm starts up, but configuration is wrong (wrong title: SuSE Linux 7.3.99, wrong list of session types). This can be fixed by an additional run of SuSEconfig after installation is done, running it in a post-script dos not work. Is there a workaround for this, except generating kdmrc manually? Another thing which doesn't work: With the following section in the config file, the system should ask for confirmation before doing anything, shouldn't it? <report> <confirm config:type="boolean" >true</confirm> <errors> <log config:type="boolean" >true</log> <show config:type="boolean" >true</show> <timeout config:type="integer" >15</timeout> </errors> <messages> <log config:type="boolean" >true</log> <show config:type="boolean" >true</show> <timeout config:type="integer" >5</timeout> </messages> <warnings> <log config:type="boolean" >true</log> <show config:type="boolean" >true</show> <timeout config:type="integer" >5</timeout> </warnings> </report> I have never had to confirm installation so far...

Hi,

This should be OK for the monitor. It might get ignored in some cases where X11 is not configured, how does the complete X11 section look?
I also configured a sound card using the configuration system. The sound card is working after installation but when logging in using kde for the first time, the SuSE hardware detection comes up, detecting new sound hardware. I could turn off the hardware detection, but this isn't really a solution...
Hmm, never had that, but I can guess what the problem is. We will be looking into the details and see if a fix can be provided.
The third thing I can't get to work is installing the system with language english but with a german keyboard layout. I always get the english keyboard layout when using english language. To get a german keyboard layout, I have to configure language 'Deutsch', resulting in <language>de_DE</language>.
Fixed in latest update package from ftp.suse.com/
I use kdm as my login manager. After installation is done, kdm starts up, but configuration is wrong (wrong title: SuSE Linux 7.3.99, wrong list of session types). This can be fixed by an additional run of SuSEconfig after installation is done, running it in a post-script dos not work. Is there a workaround for this, except generating kdmrc manually?
7.3.99 is a beta version Number!! This must have been forgotten in one of the configuration files.
Another thing which doesn't work: With the following section in the config file, the system should ask for confirmation before doing anything, shouldn't it?
<report> <confirm config:type="boolean" >true</confirm> <errors> <log config:type="boolean" >true</log> <show config:type="boolean" >true</show> <timeout config:type="integer" >15</timeout> </errors> <messages> <log config:type="boolean" >true</log> <show config:type="boolean" >true</show> <timeout config:type="integer" >5</timeout> </messages> <warnings> <log config:type="boolean" >true</log> <show config:type="boolean" >true</show> <timeout config:type="integer" >5</timeout> </warnings> </report>
I have never had to confirm installation so far...
I am still investigating this problem. Regards, Anas

the complete X11 section is: <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" >false</enable_3d> <monitor> <display> <max_hsync config:type="integer" >94</max_hsync> <max_vsync config:type="integer" >160</max_vsync> <min_hsync config:type="integer" >30</min_hsync> <min_vsync config:type="integer" >48</min_vsync> </display> <monitor_device>ECOMO 19H98</monitor_device> <monitor_vendor>ELSA</monitor_vendor> </monitor> <resolution>1024x768</resolution> </x11>

Ok, but why can I fix it by running SuSEconfig after installation is done, but not by calling it in a post-script?

After upgrading to the latest update (yast2-module-autoinst-2.5.26-0.noarch.rpm), a confirmation dialog comes up, but there's no difference between hitting 'yes' or 'no'... Regards, Andreas
