Feature changed by: Atri Bhattacharya (badshah400) Feature #307250, revision 9 Title: sax2 - ensure consistency with xrandr openSUSE-11.2: Done Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Ralph Ulrich (ulenrich) Description: Regarding sax2 user experience: Kde4 - systemsettings has its own xrandr. LXDE has its lxrandr. Ensure users don't experience unpredictable behavior playing around with different tools or ensure there is only one such tool installable. Test Case: * press alt+f2, type: sax2. it should not exists Discussion: #1: Ralph Ulrich (ulenrich) (2009-08-08 15:12:59) Discussion turns to direction not to use sax2 any more as xorg.conf is not needed any more. For long time users of openSUSE sax2 could be made a wrapper link to "xrandr --auto" #2: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) (2009-08-12 11:10:29) I think this is done already for 11.2. Stefan, can you confirm, please? #3: Stefan Dirsch (sndirsch) (2009-08-12 11:45:37) SaX2 is no longer used by default and also no longer available via the GUI. You need to run it from the command line now. We still want to have it as fallback, if things go wrong with Xserver's autoconfiguration. #5: Tara Ikeda (taraikeda) (2009-10-17 07:34:52) (reply to #3) Well darn right it needs to be a fallback. But why remove the GUII for such a useful tool. Seriously you guys who came up with this idea do not have any idea, when people complain not being able to stick to their resolution then this will be requested back. Removing SaX2 is a stupid idea, it makes things easier and yet tyou want to make things harder... Very moronic. #4: Tara Ikeda (taraikeda) (2009-10-17 07:18:06) Now this is stupid, I mean if you log out and you go back to the old resolution you had as it seems KDE4 does not remember resolution settings. So with SAX's GUI gone as you guys propose you have to use the terminal, something I thought most "user friendly" distros are supposed to turn away from. Or manually edit xorg like Ubuntu in some cases. This is a dumb move people. + #6: Atri Bhattacharya (badshah400) (2009-10-17 13:27:50) + (Installation from gnome LIVE-CD, x86_64, 11.2 RC1). + Alt+f2 -> type sax2 (sax2 icon shows up) -> press enter (sax2 does not + open). + Application browser -> sax2 -> clicking opens sax2. + I dont know if I understand correctly but there is supposed to be no + gui way to access sax2 right? Apparently rc1 still has it from main- + menu -> more applications. + Should I file a bug? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307250
