Description Martin Schlander 2007-09-21 16:52:24 UTC

During installation my Philips 170B LCD monitor is identified correctly wrt. resolution, vendor, model and aspect ratio - but the installer suggests 16-bit colours, even though 24-bit is supported.

Comment 1 Matej Horvath 2007-09-24 08:43:37 UTC

Please attach your yast logs (http://en.opensuse.org/YaST/Bugs) and output of 'hwinfo --gfxcard --monitor'.

Comment 2 Matej Horvath 2007-10-03 10:21:38 UTC

Please reopen the bug if you can provide the needed information, thanks.

=======================

It's strange that hwinfo reports max resolution as 1024x768 since it's 1280x1024, which yast suggests correctly during installation

Reopening, as suggested.

Comment 6 Stefan Dirsch 2008-08-14 01:16:00 UTC

The default color depth depends on the used driver, not on the monitor. Not sure why here 16bit is the default. It definitely should be 24bit for nvidia.
See /usr/share/sax/sysp/maps/Driver.map. Any driver using Depth24 profile
should default to 24bit. Others to 16bit.

Comment 7 Martin Schlander 2008-08-14 06:31:41 UTC

On 11.0 using automatic configuration mode for installation 24bit is automatically configured, using the same hardware.

So from my point of view this bug might as well be closed.

Comment 8 Stefan Dirsch 2008-08-14 07:50:02 UTC

Ok. So the issue has been fixed for 11.0.
