http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=526567 Summary: installation should have option to redetect video resolution Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: grey-olli@ya.ru QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.12) Gecko/2009071200 SUSE/3.0.12-0.1.2 Firefox/3.0.12 In some situations when booting not from the installation DVD, but then running install & using, for example, NFS as an installation source, the screen may be wrongly detected, this gives a situation when real size of screen is less then logical used by installation system. That is not a SuSE problem though. For example: (I searched somthing that is well preconfigured for nebooks & at the same time supporting entire encription from the box - didn't find anything at least as good as SuSE w/ my hp 2133, decided to use http://lizards.opensuse.org/2009/03/18/encrypted-root-file-system-on-lvm/ to make openSuSE work like debian does from the installation on my another box) I used unetbootin to convert Open SuSE DVD to usb bootable image. Something went wrong - the boot picture was from previously tried distribution, though it has 'linux' boot entry and I was able to boot & even when failed to find installation media on usb I tried NFS (thanks - installation has options to retry w/ another source) & did things that I needed, but the picture on the screen was confusing - some times it was a good quest to find how to get onto a menu item that is out of phisical screen ranges. :) The console also was wrongly sized - too many vertical lines. Well, generally that's not a bug, but a feature request - if installation menu would have something like 'try to re-guess monitor/screen size' it could solve such a situations. %) Reproducible: Always Expected Results: The installation menu should have an item that allows to retry display configuration before lunching basic configuration steps like keyboard layout and so on. -- 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.
