[opensuse-project] Introducing SaX3 as a GSoC Project
Hi All SaX3 is a GSoC 2011 project. I have applied for it. So in order to strengthen my proposal I need some help from you guys. So if you can help me. During my project, I would like to focus on these hardware components. 1. Monitors / Graphic Cards 2. Keyboard 3. Mouse 4. Touchpad What I would like to know is how SaX2 etc helped you in crisis situations. All suggestions are highly valuable to me. -- Regards Manu Gupta -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org

great idea!! I really miss sax2! ridht now I have problem managing screen size: having at hand a reduced set of screen size and color depth; it was easy to edit on XF86.conf. (also was alt Cltrl +/- from late memory) I also have problem with an intel netbook video card. managing the external VGA out of laptops is also difficult (video projector) and managing several screens is way more difficult than with windows :-( that said I don't know if this is a sax (2/3) feature or an Xorg problem jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xgxog7_clip-l-ombre-et-la-lumiere-3-bad-pig... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGgv_ZFtV14 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org

During my project, I would like to focus on these hardware components. 1. Monitors / Graphic Cards
As jdd already wrote, especially managing multiple monitors (or laptop + VGA output) can become interesting[tm]. What I would also like to have (if supported by the X server) is some automatic mode that would be useful especially for laptops: - if a monitor is connected at the VGA output, use it (in the configured mode - in my case xinerama, but others might prefer clone mode) - if no external monitor is connected, limit the display size to the laptop display (as in "mouse pointer or windows can't be on the (not connected) monitor") (I know that this is exactly the usecase of "don't have a xorg.conf at all", however I still have one for various, including historical, reasons.)
2. Keyboard
I see especially the keyboard language and layout as targets. (Might be the only way to configure it for the login manager.)
3. Mouse 4. Touchpad
If possible: different speed settings for mouse and touchpad. And in general: SaX should write out only the config parts that are needed/wanted by the user, not a complete xorg.conf. So if someone only changes the keyboard layout, SaX should only generate a configuration sniplet for the keyboard. Having an option to generate a full xorg.conf of course won't hurt.

What I would like to know is how SaX2 etc helped you in crisis situations. All suggestions are highly valuable to me. I think that you would get more replays from 'normal' users to your question on a medium that more users are frequently using like a forum at forums.opensuse.org or the mailinglists "opensuse" and its non-english equivalent. I guess you would not get much harassment if you interpret the rules a bit not so strictly and make a mention/bump at a list/forum that is normally used for getting help with existing
Hello Manu, I wrote a short announcement for your project at the forums - maybe you want to look around there, too? Thread: SaX3 replacing SaX2 for newer/future graphic settings ? | openSUSE and Google Summer of Code 2011 http://forums.opensuse.org/english/other-forums/news-announcements/tech-news... programs. But that is just my opinion.

The biggest thing I miss about SaX2 is the ability to import windows monitor.inf files to generate proper modelines for xorg.conf. Additionally it would be really great if there were a way to submit these monitor parameters to an online db where SaX could look it up from submitted settings. It would also be nice if we could setup multi-card setups.
