[Bug 441293] New: make sax2 aware of nouveau driver and new capabilities
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=441293 Summary: make sax2 aware of nouveau driver and new capabilities Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Beta4 Platform: All OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: SaX2 AssignedTo: sndirsch@novell.com ReportedBy: danielstefanmader@web.de QAContact: sax2-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: --- I recognized that sax2 is unable to fully configure the open nouveau drivers for NVidia graphics adapters. For one thing, it only configures only the nv driver, even when the nouveau driver is installed, and secondly, the option sax2 -r -m 0=nouveau does not seem to have the proper effect: The two outputs are not properly usable after that. Also, sax2 does not offer dualhead setup options which is easily provided by xrandr1.2 now. In order to provide good support for xrandr, the generated xorg.conf should not contain unnecessary content such as mode lines, refresh and sync rates and the like, since all this is now properly configurable through any xrandr interface. -- 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.

We even don't ship it with openSUSE 11.1. This also means that we don't use it for configuration by default, even if it exists. Also no RANDR 1.2 dualhead setup in SaX2 as we provide it now for intel, radeon and radeonhd. There are currently no plans for changing this. -- 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.

Nouveau is included in the current beta repository: http://download.opensuse.org/factory/repo/oss/suse/i586/ I have assumed -- and have been told many times -- that this is what will eventually become the GM oss repository? Also, what are the reasons for why SaX2 is not keeping pace with randr-development? Could you please point me to the relevant discussion archives? -- 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've just set the status of these nouveau packages to frozen, so they hopefully won't appear again on http://download.opensuse.org/factory/repo/oss/suse/i586/. -- 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.

Also, what are the reasons for why SaX2 is not keeping pace withrandr-development? I don't understand this question. I just mentioned that it supports RANDR 1.2 configurations for the most popular drivers.
