However, despite my efforts SaX doesn't include the "monitor-" "EXT" option to the xorg.conf. The profile is called, and it actually tries to set this option (there's a print STDERR included), but somehow this is lost. Marcus, I'm pretty much lost here, could you take a look? Other than that the changes should be all that's needed. Attaching both patches now, the first one against the C code, the second includes the profiles. -- 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.

Thanks. I gave it a try. Problems I encountered:

- For the first monitor I can only select between 800x600 and 1024x768 (instead of required 1680x1050).

Seems to be a general problem since switching to Qt4. Marcus will investigate.

- Although I selected side-by-side mode I got clone mode. - I see wrong entries in xorg.conf ' Modes "1024x7681024x768" "800x600" '

I was still using an older SaX2 version. With the latest version a correct configuration is created by SaX2. Still the driver thinks it needs to do clone mode.
