How can this be seen as an enhancement if it does not allow me to use my external display, anymore? https://bugzilla.novell.com/440965 Alin -- 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 suggest to spent some time in a new configuration backend. I wrote sax2 in a way which separates the backend from the frontend. In fact the GUI module which is the one you don't want to loose just writes a file /var/lib/sax/apidata which is used by the backend to incorporate the changes into the current configuration I more and more have the feeling that the detection process and all the detailed exceptions from one vendor to the other are now handled by the drivers themselves and doesn't required any configuration information. At least for the newer cards this applies and so the sax2 backend which creates a first suggestion of a configuration file by detecting all these things outside of Xorg seems to become a useless part in the near future I will not allow changes which can be only hacks to the current backend to rip out core sections as of the original design. I'm fine with a new and modern backend while using the existing frontend Thanks -- 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.

Is the static configuration from sax2 the reason why this happens? If so, what can we do in the 11.1 time-frame (or even SLED11)? [By the way, it made me extremely happy to see from this bug that the plan is to get rid of the static configurations - kudos!] -- 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.
