Is there some secret to reading a manufacturers driver data copied to a floppy disk? I own a KDS ExtremeFlat XF-9b monitor, downloaded the driver zip file from the manufacturer, copied the unzipped data to a floppy and get an error when trying to read the driver info: Read Error ________________________________________ Could not read from the CD or disk. This may point to a damaged medium or incorrectly formatted information files. If that company does not know how to format the info can someone point me to the monitor database file so I can manually add the correct data for my monitor? Also, where can I submit the information to be included in future SUSE updates? The default install seems to think that I have a PTS Proview Monitor which is not correct.

the windoz information will suffice. It is in an xxx.inf file. Supposedly it may be added the the monitor database on your hard drive, but I usually insert the values derived from the xxx.inf file by hand into sax2. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2

This file does not exist under 10.0, any other suggestions? Or has the name changed? -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998

Looks like it's moved to /usr/share/sax/api/data/cdb on my 10.0 system. Same stuff as the old one. just a bit of a different location.

Just open a bugreport (component sax2) in bugzilla.novell.com. Please attach the sax2 and xorg log files to your bugreport.
