https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=239695 ms@novell.com changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |RESOLVED Resolution| |WONTFIX ------- Comment #3 from ms@novell.com 2007-02-02 05:57 MST ------- Hello, we already discussed that there is no and never will be a a complete dialog for setting up X within the yast proposal. Some time ago I talked with Klaus Kaempf (former team-lead) about how X should be configurable within the installation. The answer everybody agreed to (or should I say nobody really cares) was to have a suggestion and __all basic__ settings like 3D, resolution, etc... configurable within the proposal as __hyper links__ no dialog. That's how it is implemented. A dialog requires the re-implementation of the X11 configuration in YCP. If someone would like to do that please go ahead but this is not my job and everybody in the past agreed to use the SaX2 GUI for this purpose. Even more people said YaST and SaX will turn into the same common GUI style which does happen for sax some time ago but not for yast I also asked many many times for a possibility to simple disable the use of this headline hyperlink and use the headline as headline and nothing more. Nobody ever was interested in my concern and now I got back this annoying thing as a critical bug ==> WONTFIX -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=239695 ------- Comment #5 from ms@novell.com 2007-02-02 06:29 MST ------- I agree but the problem here is not the user who ends up in a mess the problem here is that it wasn't possible to create a graphics card configuration for a severe reason happening some time before. If it wasn't possible to create a proposal it is also not possible to provide a GUI to make a configuration. The X11 configuration is based on fundamental information which needs to be obtained first, in this case it even wasn't possible to safely detect the graphics card what dialog would you like to offer ? it's like yast network without a nic detected by the kernel... it's simply not possible and a GUI doesn't make it better In this case the user can't use sax2 from a command line as well because he will end up on the console again with a message that it wasn't possible to start a server. We need to fix the problem why the detection sucks. I agree it is bad style to have a click-able headline if the detection procedure poorly failed but I don't have the possibility to switch it of in case of such an error... at least I don't know of a possibility to that within the proposal code. In principal the system received an empty map and displays "ERROR: no proposal" why not disable the headline from being click-able in that case ? at least in case of the X11 configuration the user can't do anything useful, something like that shouldn't happen because it's fatal, there is simply no data a configuration module could work on. The only useful action would be to call "vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf" ... know what I mean :-) -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
