Bug 104015

what do you expect me to do with your explanation ?? there is no 
information I can use to make you happy... something is not working but I 
remember another OS which managed it please do it the same way *????* 
 
please provide the output of the following command: 
 
  hwinfo --monitor 
 
Thanks 

Sorry - was late when I finally got to reporting the bug. In SuSE 9.2 'hwinfo 
--monitor' gives this (I'm unable to run the beta today): 
 
25: None 00.0: 10002 LCD Monitor 
  [Created at monitor.100] 
  Unique ID: rdCR.+sOs0apa6W9 
  Hardware Class: monitor 
  Model: "Dell Notebook LCD" 
  Vendor: "Dell Computer Corporation" 
  Device: "Notebook LCD" 
  Resolution: 1600x1200@60Hz 
  Driver Info #0: 
    Max. Resolution: 1600x1200 
    Vert. Sync Range: 50-75 Hz 
    Hor. Sync Range: 31-108 kHz 
  Config Status: cfg=yes, avail=yes, need=yes, active=unknown 
 
(And yes, it is a 1400x1050 display). 
 

Still the same in beta2.  
  
The display which is picked for me in installation is "--> LCD  
1600x1200@75HZ", but the one that is needed is "DELL 1400X LAPTOP DISPLAY  
PANEL"  
 
The output above from SuSE 9.2 is the same as the output from openSUSE 10 beta 
2. 

I have a similar problem, my SONY Multiscan E400 is not automatically 
detected.

Hmm... I guess it is probed from the graphic card:

Hmm... again I have a KVM switch between gfxcard and monitor, 
removed it - did not help. 

Is this fixed yet? (Bugzilla said it was going to close this bug). 

Can you post the contents of your xorg.conf file? Sounds like an X problem

I just installed 10.1 beta 8, and the display was detected fine.
