Public bug reported:
I'm uncertain which package to file against... ubiquity? xorg? Live CD?
At any rate (currently using Edgy Knot 2+ - 9/9/2006) I'm running an ATI
Radeon X800 All in Wonder with a Dell FPW2005 widescreen LCD monitor.
The Live CD boots into 800x600 but is unable to go any higher because it
doesn't seem to know what to do with the LCD. The same occurs if I use
the installer. I'm only able to get past this problem when I manually
modify the xorg.conf file to include some Modeline changes, etc. I don't
really understand how that's supposed to work but google always finds an
answer for me. Once I get that change in place, I'm able to get my
recommended 1680x1050 resolution. However, in the Live CD, I don't
really have a way around this so I'm stuck in 800x600. 800x600 is only
barely enough screen space to RUN the installer. Unless you set both the
top and bottom gnome-panel's to autohide you can't even get to the
buttons to click OK or Next or whatever. This means I generally am stuck
(on this computer) with using the alternate installer text based, but
that still doesn't fix the problem with my monitor.
I know it's certainly possible as Suse 10.1 easily picked up my hardware
settings and configured everything perfectly.
