Description Casual J. Programmer 2007-02-20 14:28:12 UTC
During Hardware Setup part of installation the graphics controller / Display is not detected. The summary shows under Graphics Cards: ERROR: No Proposal.

Clicking on the entry for Graphics Cards displays a message box stating "Click the underlined setting to change" ( This seems to work for the other entries )

Seems to be a configuration issue then.

I'm currently trying to reproduce this one.

Well, the machine freezed with 10.3 Alpha1 during installation when

  "Parsing files ... Reading packages file (95%)". 

Nice try ...
Comment 8 Marcus Schaefer 2007-02-21 08:04:00 UTC
I'm pretty sure either the fix for Bug: #246655 or #245396 or #240693
will fix this issue as well. As it's currently not possible to
install a system I would suggest to test with the next Alpha
Comment 9 Casual J. Programmer 2007-02-28 06:37:05 UTC
After updating to alpha 1 plus this seems to have improved somewhat. I.e. I managed to get gdm to run with the original setup by copying /etc/X11/xorg.conf.install to /etc/X11/xorg.conf

After updating to alpha 1 plus on sunday, the graphics controller can now be set up properly. There is still interference between setting up keyboard / Language and graphics display. I.e. setting up the keyboard degrades graphics settings.
Comment 10 Marcus Schaefer 2007-02-28 09:20:59 UTC
Could you setup X with the following commands:

   init 3
   sax2

---> if there are problems send the log file /var/log/SaX.log

Thanks
Comment 11 Casual J. Programmer 2007-02-28 10:28:24 UTC
that seems to work.
Comment 12 Marcus Schaefer 2007-02-28 10:41:57 UTC
ok, so I'm a bit confused what exactly the problem ist ;) ?

Please note if you copy the xorg.conf.install to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
any changes to mouse and keyboard will force a new configuration to
be written because the .install file will not be used as reference
(this file was not created by sax2 and therefore the md5 check will fail)

now that you successfully have created a configuration with sax2
it shouldn't be a problem to change the configuration, the file should
be used in that case
 
Comment 13 Marcus Schaefer 2007-03-05 08:56:03 UTC
no further information... closed
Comment 14 Casual J. Programmer 2007-03-24 14:13:31 UTC
After a "clean" install og alpha2 and update to alpha2plus the graphics card shows no settings. Also desktop effects are not configurable.

This worked with alpha1.

Switching to runlevel 3 and running sax trying to set 3d acceleration results in complete loss of gdm, not even with a saved xorg.conf recoverable.

This is a completely different hardware (945GM instead of i815 before).
Comment 21 Casual J. Programmer 2007-03-24 16:50:48 UTC
How very true :-(

Sorry I goofed on that, this is really regarding the FSC Amilo 1520 Si, I somehow got mixed up between the reported errors.

This reopen should have been https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=237676

How can I move it over ?
Comment 22 Stefan Dirsch 2007-03-24 17:48:05 UTC
Well, then reopen Bug #237676 and attach the files again. AFAIK you can't copy any comments to another bugreport in Bugzilla.
Comment 23 Bugzilla Account Maintenance 2008-09-02 18:07:47 UTC
Because the LATER and REMIND resolutions have been removed, the resolution of this bug has changed from LATER to WONTFIX. If this bug needs to be reconsidered, reopen it and set a future "Target Milestone for Fix."
