AFTER installation is totally different from DURING installation.
Getting confronted with too high frequencies at the right resolution during installation is a 100% show stopper if you don't know some dirty tricks. This has to get fixed!
It is NOT OK currently!
Maybe some of us can't accept it as a bug, but then they have to accept it as a SUSE specific stupidity (believing "facts" or similar).
Please, please someone with the same experience may call "me too" here now, before I loose my patience in the well-known way...
May I say that I get also the Max resolution and that controlling setup with that is not so easy.. It is almost double the resolution that is recommend for my monitor (omg, my oldie still goes at 1024 :P ). But I don't get the out of range error anymore. I had it in SL 10.0 beta 4/5 and reported some logs for that. Maybe it is something similar.
The main (unresolvable for joe user!) problem is DURING installation. Without a safe set at this point, joe user will not reach the state "after installation".
But I really have bo idea what to do about it then have a big database with proper resolutions and that is not something I want on the valueable diskspace from installation. So that idea is out of my head.
It would be a very small set of "secure" frequencies if ever: only the lowest out of sax2's selections. Or a new choice "monitor frequency" (simply an additional F key). Or a very simple default: never above 60 Hz vertical. I have several fellows here at the GWDG data center which come on telling me "impossible to install - screen not blue, but black". This is a pure SUSE neglegence, and it HAS TO get fixed with 10.2 finally. A very easy task - but it needs some core team member having the problem by himself, it seems.
