The problem is that this is not my notebook and we managed to get it working with xrandr after we tried all kinds of combinations and resolutions. Since it works now and proper resolution is pretty important for ffeling comfortable when working with opensuse, I hesitated to change anything.
Does it work directly after X startup? In that case, the xorg.conf is perfectly fine and contains everything needed.
I am not familiar with xrandr, we just looked on the internet for the commands to use and tried it. So if you could tell me which files except the xorg.conf I have to save in order to be able to restore the current state after trying out a different resolution, I will provide the data.
xrandr doesn't have persistence, everything is restored to the config in xorg.conf on Xserver restart. And no, there is no way to save/restore a state you created with xrandr calls.
If sax2 is not the best option to configure dual-head, would it not make sense to tell the user so, or at least give a hint within sax2 that if things do not work out, he should try krandrtry or gnome's equivalent?
For persistence, it still is the best option. The desktops are slowly getting to a state where they will offer a better solution. AFAIK both the newest krandrtray and gnome-display-properties have persistence. It looks to me like we could close this bug, do you agree? -- 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.
