The Future of SaX2 ==================
Having used S.u.S.E. since v5.3, I have always appreciate SaX2. And I also don't agree with the direction that X.org has taken in regards to displays. This works fine on an LCD(which is definitely becoming more common) so that the display is at it's native resolution, but it doesn't work as well for CRTs or for setting up multiple displays sometimes. Even on my dual 19" CRTS on my desktop, I set them to 1024x768. I have 2 for a reason.
However, if the tools in KDE& Gnome are able to set the displays up properly(which never worked in the past since SaX2 was the default config tool), then I'm personally not sure that SaX2 is really needed. I haven't really had time to play with 11.2 yet so I don't know how well it works, but I did have to change my son's 19" CRT down because he complained it was too high, and I was glad that SaX2 was there. HOWEVER, I didn't look in the KDE4 settings to see if it was available.
So, I guess one thing that should be considered is if the KDE& Gnome config tools are up to snuff.....
Thanx
OK Question will xorg's autoconfig be able to setup multiply resolution using <ctrl><alt><+/->? SaX2 and xorg.conf could do that.
I don't think so, but it might be interesting to teach tools like the gnome display configurator about those key combinations as hotkeys to perform the same thing via xrandr. - -Jeff - -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAksVhsEACgkQLPWxlyuTD7Js9ACfU+f/gLD00KF4yBXEq3Vh/Frr aS0AmQGivAHuiBowB4SDY+4wsNeoIxYz =tJ1d -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
