https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=221272 ------- Comment #19 from alpha096@tpg.com.au 2007-01-23 21:16 MST ------- Personally I can easily accept a partial screen outage during monitor detection - however traditionally any install package that provides any screen outage is accompanied by a warning to the user that "During the following......you may experience a short video outage". Personally I feel ANY screen outage where the monitor does NOT go into suspense, however the display goes blank together with no HDD activity almost begs the user to think install has failed or frozen. In the duplicate bug https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=231044 I experienced a blank screen after each and every disk change commencing with disk one and I too had thoughts that a blank screen saver was an issue. IF you want to retain current video outages during any part of the install it may be easier to introduce this fact at one of the first display screen dialogue comments. As an aside I think marketing could come up with far better dialogues during install. I found NO real reference to exciting new features in 10.2. The install dialogue is also repartitions. Much of the information contained in http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_News/10.2-Release could have been well used to a captive audience during install. I also hate making reference to MS, however their install dialogues are well written and really get the user excited about using the new release. Install dialogues are useful in that you have a guaranteed captive audience you should exploit. There is nothing wrong with well written propaganda to a marketing executive when you have a captive audience. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
