Not sure if this monitor floppy/CD feature still works reliably. Can't you just select the monitor from the list of monitors for vendor "LG" if it is not detected automatically? -- 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.

just a side note: you can import a monitor inf from disk or CD/DVD in sax2 I wrote a WinINF.pm module which allows importing

Is there a how to or guide? Nobody could explain the button "disc".(In reply to comment #6 from Marcus Schaefer) -- 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'm going to burn a CD with Mark's .INF file for testing.

done. sndirsch@shannon:/usr/share/sax/api/macros> sudo ./getINF LG,LG L227W (DIGITAL),56-75,28-83 LG,LG L227W (ANALOG),56-75,28-83 Using the "Utility Disk" button in SaX2 works as well. ==> Monitor: LG LG L227W (ANALOG) No idea, where's the issue here.

Like mentioned in my description I have the INF file from LG. I downloaded it from LG's website to a usb stick.

This is new to me.

So do I need to burn on a CD?

Yes. Put the .inf file in a subdirectory called "drivers".

Current PC models have no floppy drive anymore.

Why is it not possible to select the file manually? Then it could be located everywhere.

This would be a feature request, not a bug report. Currently we only support inf files located on a floppy or CD. -- 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.
