The newly added plug and play capability will be a good thing. It also means that we may want to drop a lot of unnecessary things by default from xorg.conf. Nonetheless I just have the use case of docking my notebook to my docking station in mind if I fear to lose the power of current xorg-configurability.
I do not understand, what you want to tell me here.
We should at least keep three things in xorg.conf: * which monitor should become the primary which the secondary * what will be the respective screen sizes * which xinerama-orientation (right/left/...) if not clone mode is to be used
This information is already saved by the desktop, i.e. KDE/Gnome. Not sure about xfce. For other window managers add the appropriate xrandr call to your ~/.xinitrc. It definitely makes sense to have clone mode as default for displaymanager login (xdm, kdm, gdm) to make sure you can login, not matter whether the internal, the external display or both displays are connected.
The issue I have created upstreams in this regard is https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18592, 'apply settings of xorg.conf even if monitor enabled with hindsight'.
That means if I start my notebook and dock afterwards the result should be the same as if I start docked.
Makes no sense to me. The RANDR 1.2 tools like krandrtray/gnome-display-properties/xrandr are your friends if you want to change display configuration on-the-fly. -- 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.

Again: sax2 is not dropped, its functionality is still available.
Having it easily available in YaST just caused more problems than it solved, that's why it has been removed there. Causing problems means a support load which distracts the engineers from fixing real bugs and adding new features to openSUSE and our enterprise products.
Feel free to call sax2 directly if you need it, it will stay around for the whole maintenance cycle.
What do you mean by this, that it is completely going away in 11.3 or 12, whatever will it be named? I think it would be a pitty to completely remove it. What to do when you have a monitor which has no DDC info or gives incorrect DDC info? How will runtime automatic configuration deal with that? -- 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.
