[Bug 405797] New: Autoyast X11 choices on default depth can lead to installations without X
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=405797 Summary: Autoyast X11 choices on default depth can lead to installations without X Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: AutoYaST AssignedTo: ug@novell.com ReportedBy: heibslic@mailbox.tu-berlin.de QAContact: qa@suse.de CC: heibslic@mailbox.tu-berlin.de Found By: --- With OpenSuSE 11.0 you are able to select '32' as the default depth with the X11 profile. However, most graphics drivers (in this case a I830 running with the xf86-video-intel driver) do not allow for anything above 24bit colors as their default depth. I suggest you either remove the 32bit option (there really isn't any visible difference between 24 and 32bit) or implement some incredibly smart voodoo to detect whether or not a certain graphics driver actually supports the default depth commanded to use by the autoyast profile. <x11> <color_depth config:type="integer">32</color_depth> <display_manager>kdm</display_manager> <enable_3d config:type="boolean">false</enable_3d> <enable_xgl config:type="boolean">false</enable_xgl> <resolution>1024x768 (XGA)</resolution> <window_manager>kde</window_manager> <xgl_custom_options></xgl_custom_options> </x11> Thats the profile part in question. -- 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.

DefaultDepth is 8/16/24bit. If you want to distinguish between 24bpp packed mode (known by Matrox) or 32bpp you now need to use DefaultFbBpp (see man xorg.conf). But we don't make use of this at the moment. -- 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.

Daniel Schmidt <jdsn@novell.com> 2008-08-22 11:38:01 MDT --- If this exotic setting is so rare I'd say lets remove it from the x11 AutoYaST dialog. In the installed system the user can change it to 32bit if he really has such a graphics card.
