Description Hubert Figuiere 2008-11-14 00:59:19 UTC
I kill X (that is in 1024x768). Start sax2 from the console.

SaX detect a 1280x768 screen. I click ok. Then I start X, and I get X in 1024x768.
This is in Factory (a zypper dup done today from beta4, beta4 already having the problem)

Oh well. You've booted into failsafe mode. Therefore you always get the config
used during installation - since this is considered safe and working. Otherwise
installation wouldn't have been possible at all. Remove 'failsafe' from
boot options if you use failsafe as your default - for whatever reasons.

I consider this INVALID.

If only I knew the reason why....

grub seems to be configured with "x11failsafe" by default.

*sigh*

failsafe boot is our default now? I suggest to file a bugreport for this.

This happened during a "zypper dup"

My 11.0 to 11.1beta5 upgrade didn't have the problem. If I can reproduce, I'll surely file a new bug.
