Probably less than that. Do you have a specific case where manual setup is required? I've installed 11.2 on a lot of machines/hardware combos, and so far haven't had any issues with display setup. I do know there are a few of what has been termed "corner cases" but I have not yet encountered them. The statement on the Factory list was if you have a case where autodetect is not working it should be raised as a bug and fixed. That said, sax2 is still there in 11.2 so you're not left hanging.. you juat have to launch it from a terminal.
I was wondering how you change which driver the graphics card uses - e.g.. if i wanted to change from the proprietary Nvidia (or ATI) driver to the open source ones - how do i do it?
Add/remove the proprietary driver. That's all I've had to do. You can also still use an xorg.conf file if youre situation requires it.
Sax2 got rid of a problem on my display I had after upgrading to 11.2 and KDE4 Factory. I had a thin stripe of random colours down the right hand side. I didn't have an issue before the KDE4 Factory install so i was wondering if there was anything in it that could have affected it.
Possibly... did your update also include a different version of xorg? Do you know what was changed/added by sax2? Is there some custom config or some odd hardware combination that you have? Maybe there's a bug you've bumped into... I don't know.. I'm on KDE4.4Beta, and it's fine on my Acer AL2016W and nVidia GTX260.
Is "Configure Desktop" the same as "System Settings"? In system settings you have 5 display related icons on the general page and then one on the Advanced
In KDE4.4Beta, I only see Appearance, Desktop, Display icons in the General tab... and... in Advanced... I suppose you could include Desktop Theme Details... and Power Management... but they should be a part of Advanced. To my way of thinking, I think that the breakdown of the display related icons in the KDE4.4 Configure Desktop window is pretty good, and quite logical. Cramming them all under one would make it very cluttered. C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
