Card0 => DDC : <undefined> Card0 => Name : Monitor Card0 => Vendor : Generic

As said monitor/panel resolution detection via DDC was not possible. ==> SaX2 writes configuration for framebuffer resolution. I'm not sure about Ubuntu 8.10, but FC10 definitely no longer writes any xorg.conf, so panel resolution detection is done by the driver itself. Just to explain the different behaviour here. -- 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.

This is not a trivial change. And it will break other things. There are also input drivers, which need to be configured. -- 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.

That is interesting. I am using BIOS 1.08 which I believe includes their video changes. Can you please point out to me what specifically MSI would have to change in the BIOS so that the correct screen size can be determined not only by Ubuntu, but also by openSUSE? -- 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.

However, 800x600 is being used by default. In other words, the system *knows* that 1024x600 would be possible, but only uses 800x600. Please see the attached screenshot. (This is what I get on the RC1 Live CD without manually running any YaST or SaX tools.) Please change the behavior so that the maximum detected screen size is actually used. -- 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.
