I would expect it to -at-least- tell me my current resolution (1600x1200) & refresh rate - even if it cannot be changed. I'd also expect it to allow me to select an external monitor resolution too. Or at least do something more ;-) -- 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.
