https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=440973 Summary: sax2: Don't specify resolution in xorg.conf if monitor cannot be detected Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Beta4 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: SaX2 AssignedTo: sndirsch@novell.com ReportedBy: sndirsch@novell.com QAContact: sax2-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com CC: mhopf@novell.com, ms@novell.com, lverhaegen@novell.com Found By: --- Since we switched to automatic configuration by default with openSUSE 11.0 quite a number of users are complaining about the system using the wrong resolution of the monitor. They no longer notice that YaST/SaX2 could not detect the monitor resolution. In the past they could easily adjust this setting during installation. The same issue we see with the LiveCD, which also uses the automatic configuration of SaX ('sax2 -a -r'). Apparently users are no longer capable or willing to run the YaST X11 module to adjust the resolution. Probably because different distributions no longer write xorg.conf at all (relying on the driver capabilities to detect the monitor correctly) and therefore don't run into this issue. Users expect the same behaviour from openSUSE. The solution would be SaX2 no longer writing the resolution at all if monitor cannot be detected instead of falling back to used kernel framebuffer resolution. One needs to make sure that such configurations can be read in by SaX2 again. -- 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 like your idea for not specifying the display resolution, if that works with most drivers that would be very helpful. I don't think most users would want to specify their graphics setting during the installation and then have to launch SaX2 again afterward to get the graphics settings right (an even mix of lazy and/or ignorance on my part). -- 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.

Stefan, Yes, the 915resolution will result in the error of CRT output and the resolution change after S3 resume.

I'm using Sax2 (gui and cli versions) to correctly identify the monitor resolution desired (1680x1050@60) but Sax2 test only displays test for 1280x1024@60 and the desktop resolution is only 1024x780. Sax2 correctly writes a valid xorg.conf but no matter what it describes the desktop is still a maximum of 1024x768. My nVidia card and monitor combination did require some work to get to the correct settings under 10.3 but those settings xorg settings are not working under 11.1 RC1. The LCD is connected via analog connection but the settings were adjusted for Opensuse 11.0 (ATI) and Opensuse 10.3 (nVidia).

I've found I can get the correct resolution by Run gtf 1680 1050 60 adding to the "Monitor" section: # 1680x1050 @ 60.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 65.22 kHz; pclk: 147.14 MHz Modeline "1680x1050_60.00" 147.14 1680 1784 1968 2256 1050 1051 1054 1087 -HSync +Vsync Run: xrandr -q xrandr --newmode 1680x1050 147.14 1680 1784 1968 2256 1050 1051 1054 1087 -HSync +Vsync xrandr -q # verify the mode is available to xrandr And then use nvidia-settings to change the resolution to 1680x1050 @60 ## the screen resolution application doesn't show the new mode. -- 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.

It seemed to be fixed as early as Beta-5. Or my report ( https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=442746 ) is not the duplicate of this?
