If there's a problem with the patch could you contact Andreas Jäger and discuss it with him? We need a working sax2 today for alpha4.

Your patch disables this and that's the reason why I won't accept it * sax can run in lower resolutions but this is not recommended because in that case also parts of the GUI are not viewable -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

Can we do this? Edith, could you discuss with PS3 and YaST guys what the best solution for this in the long run?

There is NO WAY to fit everything on the screen required by the installation with such a small resolution. We rose the minimum to 800x600 because of way too many bug reports: Texts cut off, widgets not fitting on the screen, texts illegible. If the hardware cannot deliver any more than that, you'll have to install in text mode. See also bug #227559 comment #19. Some of the bugs with resolutions below 800x600 (i.e. 640x480, which is considerably more than the 576x384 you are talking about) are: bug #50693 bug #50649 bug #51106 bug #44605 bug #50612 bug #50594 comment #3 bug #66498 comment #71 bug #64977 bug #44528 bug #39935 -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=273147 ------- Comment #17 from sh@novell.com 2007-05-14 04:20 MST ------- If this problem bounces back to me (which I expect), somebody will have to assume responsibility for the consequent bug reports that are sure to reappear. I repeat: Less than 800x600 is utterly insufficient for installation. You cannot move that problem away by reassigning the bug around in a circle. You can make a hack for that specific architecture (it's as easy as changing one of the start-up scripts that checks for >= 800x600), but not for the general case. And even with that hack there will be a number of users complaining about some things not fitting on the screen.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=273147 olh@novell.com changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- AssignedTo|emap@novell.com |ms@novell.com ------- Comment #18 from olh@novell.com 2007-05-24 09:03 MST ------- So far all patches provided in this bug have been correct and need no further discussion. The plan goes like this: - apply the testX patch from 2007-05-10 as is. This will allow yast to run in any resolution. Everywhere. - Add code to yast to get aware of the currently used X/Y dimensions. - Make those 2 integer values globaly available to ycp modules. - Add a popup before or after language selection window (you decide) which mentions that we will not handle bug reports about issues with X/Y dimensions smaller than 800x600. - Fix the bugs in the currently common installation workflow which use hardcoded popup sizes. This includes the media.1/info.txt popup, the agfa font license popups and others as we get aware of them during install testing. ms will apply the testX patch for alpha4plus and reassign back to sassmann once that is done. sassmann will provide an additional patch for testX with prints the current X/Y dimensions in an install.inf compatible format to stdout. (and prints nothing at all if X did not start). sassmann will provide a patch for first stage startup scripts which will append thos values to /etc/install.inf. Something like 'if testX >> /etc/instll.inf ; then do_X_install ; else do_ncurses_install ; fi' sassmann will provide ycp patches for those incorrectly sized popups, using the parsed values from install.inf -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
