I think what happened is that during installation the internal panel has been configured as 1024x768 as the LID was closed.
Yep, that looks like what has happened. If there's no way of detecting the internal display if it's installed while the lid is closed, then the user should be warned during installation how to correctly configure graphics. Either detect that the lid is closed and ask the user to open it, or worst case there should be a message saying "During the install your displays will be detected. If you are installing on a notebook with the lid closed it will not be possible to detect that display. Please go to http://...... to see how to correctly configure the internal display once the insulation has finished. " as a warning message at the start of the install, and an pointer in the readme. -- 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.
