This is opensuse list. Most of the members here, I guess, are not reading factory list. I never understood why people have to reference to the factory list (except if it is a direct link to a specific message). It is nonsene.
And.. what's your point? I listen in on the Factory list... and all I was doing is letting the OP know that this was discussed on the Factory list. Nothing more. I wasn't suggesting that the OP should be subscribed there.. if it was interpreted that way... well.... that was not the intention.
Sorry for I was rude. I misundertsood you, thougt that you expected us to read factory list. I apologize.
It's basically lived out most of its life. X has a relatively robust autodetect now... it works in 99% of the cases. I can't understand these types of explanations either. What does it mean
"lived out most of its life"? It can not be stated until it is still required by users and functional. (Similarly it is said by some that KDE3 lived out its life, and it is not true either.)
Simple... in most cases it's not needed anymore.. thus it's lived out most of its life. You can phrase it however you want, but the reality is that it is an old technology that is being replaced by soemthing newer and frankly easier to use. I'm not a dev, just a user relaying that info that I read on the Factory mailing list. If you don't like it.. take it up with the devs. This could be a discussion beyond the borders of this topic.
Once more, autodetection is good (and it worked in earlier SUSE versions as well). What I am saying is that tools which can be used to change default settings should not be removed from the main configuration center, not to mention the whole distro. So those who are satisfied with the results of autodetection are not going to use use them, those who want to change something has a tool and do not have to hack config files and/or file bug reports.
