I see where SaX2 has been removed from M3/GNOME. As this has been the standard way to resolve video card issues, what will be taking its place? Is there a better way to go about this?
The goal of the upstream Xorg devs is making everything X automatic, which with common modern hardware, works in most cases. I can't imagine how multihead/multigfxcard/multidisplay configs could possibly be automatic. Also, automatic depends on hardware characteristics performing according to X dev expectations, which will never be 100%.
X -configure is built into upstream X for building a skeleton xorg.conf. It's crude, and not interactive, but better than nothing for those whose hardware malfunctions under automatic assumptions. Oh, and don't try X -configure if you're running Factory: http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=586053 For a while, most can probably get by using an xorg.conf from an earlier release, such as 11.2.
Depending on your video card and driver you have nvidia-settings, some ati control center, krandrtray/gnome-xrandr-thingy etc. providing gui alternatives to sax2. So you have other options than automation or handwritten xorg.conf. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
