[Bug 288730] New: Hardware settings: aspect ratio of screen crashes X
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=288730 Summary: Hardware settings: aspect ratio of screen crashes X Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Alpha 5 Platform: i686 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: danielstefanmader@web.de QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: Beta-Customer When performing the installation (DVD medium), the final step is Hardware settings. Being curious what the aspect ratio settings offers I clicked this. Since I was unsure what diagonal size my 15" laptop screen has I pressed Cancel. The Xsession crashed, restarted and offered the login screen right away. I rebooted and received a complaint about an unfinished previous installation :) Looks like the sax2 component is not very tolerant towards errors or screens not reporting their size? -- 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.

The result of this setup is just a line in xorg.conf which takes into effect at next restart of the X-Server. I think it is more likely that yast was exited for whatever reason and so the running X-Server is closed and the installation is "finished" Unfortunately the logs doesn't point me to something useful. The X-Server log is clean which means there is no X-server problem. The yast log told me: clients/x11_proposal.ycp:65 x11 package status is: <true> clients/x11_proposal.ycp:99 Loading library cache... clients/x11_proposal.ycp:105 Reading libsax cache data... clients/x11_proposal.ycp:214 X11: DualHead Mode not supported with this NoteBook [Interpreter] x11/x11Dialog.ycp:360 Called YaST client returned: $["links":["sax-monitor", "sax-resolution", "sax-displaysize", "sax-colors", "sax-3d", "sax-ext-vga", "sax-test"], "preformatted_proposal":"<ul><li>Graphics card: Intel 855 GM</li><li>Monitor: <a href=\"sax-monitor\">--> LCD 800X600@60HZ</a> (<a href=\"sax-displaysize\">Aspect Unconfigured</a>) - (<a href=\"sax-resolution\">800x600</a>)</li><li>Colordepth: <a href=\"sax-colors\">24</a> bit (16.7 Mio.

Daniel Schmidt <jdsn@novell.com> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |NEEDINFO Info Provider| |ms@novell.com --- Comment #8 from J. Daniel Schmidt <jdsn@novell.com> 2007-08-28 10:04:45 MST --- @Marcus: I think I found the cause - but need your advice here. Have a quick look at y2log (from comment #6) line 2529. It says 'No item "undef" exiting'. (The following couple of lines come from yast as it exits and reboots, see the timestamp.) This "undef" comes from XLib.pm::getDisplaySize line 236, @result = ("undef"). The following code checks if $traversal is defined and calculates the display size. There is no else part for that if clause. So if $traversal is undefined @result remains "undef" and returns it. This is anyhow a valid return value, as the ycp expects a string, but XLib in return expects a integer when setDisplaySize is called with this string. Do you have an advice what to do in such an else part. What should be the default here? I could check the string before calling setDisplaySize and set it to your fallback (in x11_proposal.ycp, line 285) in case it is an invalid string ("undef" is a valid string, but invalid in terms of containing only numbers). The latter is ugly because XLib.pm::getDisplaySize remains buggy - so I prefer to patch for XLib.pm.

Daniel Schmidt <jdsn@novell.com> 2007-09-01 00:58:49 MST --- I tried to add checks to all functions that pass along these strings, that want to be integers, but that broke the proposal completly. So it remains only the check in XLib.pm. If one avoids the call of $mDesktop->setDisplayRatioAndTraversal... then the module fails to finish a correct setup, so I return to default values in this case. fixed in yast2-x11-2.15.11 -- 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.
