SaX2 does not recognize DELL Ultrasharp 1905FP
Last modified: 2005-10-27 15:01:30 UTC
Sax2 does not list my new DELL LCD (Ultrasharp 1905FP) in the known monitor. For this reason I have to configure it manually... since DELL is a world spread brand and 1905FP a popular monitor, I hope that you include it in next Sax2 release.
if you don't mind would you send me the output of the command hwinfo --monitor Thanks

Thank you very much for the prompt solution (I understood that it will be available in 10.1, is that correct?). One final question: since this monitor support the pivot feature, would it be possible for SaX2 to ask if the user want to enable RANDR option (in order to have the possibility to rotate it from landscape to portrait on-the-fly)?
1) yes I made the patch for 10.1 2) unfortunately you cannot use randr to rotate your screen because the randr extension is broken if you want to rotate the display. Some drivers support the Option "Rotate". if so you can use sax to rotate but this requires a restart of the server. Yes this randr extension needs a lot of redesign to support what it is named "rotate and resize" ;) I'm sorry
