I have seen all the problems mentioned at variosu time. Happy to provide more information but don't know what you need. Problems existed on 11.1 as well, but have changed now that 11.2 has different mechansim for setting up graphics devices (I thought not using xorg.conf) My machine has two graphics devices, onboard and nvidia card, with different resolution. As far as I can figure there are several issues: 1. YaST/Gnome in 11.2RC1 has no "Graphics and monitor" control panel, so no way to set up dual display mode using gui. I thought it should be set up to use mirroring. 2. Remote Management is a bit unclear about which service/port it is using. See attached screenshot. Remote is functioning on port 5801 with no password. Remote desktop preferences thinks it is using port 5802, but this doesn't work. Somehow my remote session is using a separate session rather than desktop sharing and applications which are open on the primary desktop are unaccessible to the remote session. 3. I'm presently presuming I have logged in using user switching and the system has let me in with more than one session on different desktops without access to the original desktop. I have done nothing special to the 11.2rc1 install to try make remote management work. (YaST2> Only running "sax2 -r -m0=nvidia" from command line because when the system crashes, X seems to lose configuration and I get wallpaper and a mouse pointer and no GUI. Running sax2 then rebooting fixes it. Let me know what other information you need to debug. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
