https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=239695 ------- Comment #5 from ms@novell.com 2007-02-02 06:29 MST ------- I agree but the problem here is not the user who ends up in a mess the problem here is that it wasn't possible to create a graphics card configuration for a severe reason happening some time before. If it wasn't possible to create a proposal it is also not possible to provide a GUI to make a configuration. The X11 configuration is based on fundamental information which needs to be obtained first, in this case it even wasn't possible to safely detect the graphics card what dialog would you like to offer ? it's like yast network without a nic detected by the kernel... it's simply not possible and a GUI doesn't make it better In this case the user can't use sax2 from a command line as well because he will end up on the console again with a message that it wasn't possible to start a server. We need to fix the problem why the detection sucks. I agree it is bad style to have a click-able headline if the detection procedure poorly failed but I don't have the possibility to switch it of in case of such an error... at least I don't know of a possibility to that within the proposal code. In principal the system received an empty map and displays "ERROR: no proposal" why not disable the headline from being click-able in that case ? at least in case of the X11 configuration the user can't do anything useful, something like that shouldn't happen because it's fatal, there is simply no data a configuration module could work on. The only useful action would be to call "vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf" ... know what I mean :-) -- 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.
