The creators of the radeonhd driver currently do not even manage to get around with hardware accelaration. Std. Hw-accelaration('exa') simply does not work for the radeonhd shipped with MS6 (besides many other very nasty errors http://lists.opensuse.org/radeonhd/2009-06/msg00102.html). Do not even think about giving them over the hw detection! There is currently little sense in testing the intermediate results of the freedesktop/radeonhd group. As major development leaps seem to be in progress there I would currently give the radeonhd driver an 'unsupported' status. The good hw-detection by SaX2 has always been a major advantage of Opensuse towards other distros. Never discard this!! -- 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.

Command line hacking with xrandr which is currently unsupported? - Oh no !! It always gives me errors like 'Configuring crtc0 failed' if not at all all screens turn black and no more graphics output is given (not even on the text console). -- 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.

Nonetheless I can not think about the radeonhd driver to develop so far that it could take over hardware detection until September. Casual users would however still depeer a tool to configure their graphics card manually (although krandrtray may already provide some of the functionality it will never allow the preconfiguration of a monitor which is necessary for desktop usage and can only be achieved by a proper xorg.conf.). -- 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.

It has been Xorg sometimes crashing on a good xorg.conf (or saying wrong driver). I will report this upstream. -- 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.

It works very well. There is no replacement for it. It is often not the fault of YaST(or SaX2) if things go wrong. -- 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.
