https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=391274 Summary: dell d830 with external display not setup correctly Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Beta 3 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: scrute@novell.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: IS&T Hi, This could be sax problem.. I'm using a Dell D830 with an external 1680x1050 display connected via DVI. The dell has an intel 965GM controller. After installation the system rebooted and tried to drive the monitor in a resolution it could not display. I used <ctrl><alt><F1> then <alt><f7> and the screen became visable. It looked like I was seeing a 1024x768 window into the top left of the X screen. I fired up sax and fixed it by removing the "Activate Dual Head Mode" and restarted X and it worked fine. -- 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.

I just ran through another install, and even looking for where I would configure X I still end up with a display that doesn't work after the first reboot. So, even if it's not a bug in the driver, sax2 in automatic mode isn't detecting it correctly and the installer isn't giving the suer a chance to change it. -- 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.

For anything different (like higher resolutions on DVI output) either use SaX2 for a static configuration or xrandr for a dynamic configuration. On Gnome you can use the new RANDR 1.2 capable tool gnome-display-properties.

From a new user perspective, having a system that works while you install it then installs drivers that stop the display from working looks very shoddy.

For this we have the failsafe boot menu enty. It's graphical now, so you can start YaST2 --> Graphics Card and Monitor to reconfigure your system. Let me know, if this works for you. -- 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.
