[Cooker] [Bug 5314] [Installation] No way to confirm XFree resolution
http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=5314 --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-16-09 14:26 --- Er, I should clarify: "note the very small size" = "note the very small *file* size". It's smaller than the current image (2.5K vs 18K). It could remain very small as long as the color patch didn't take up a lot of physical space (= less of a burden on compression). Of course, the color should be placed within the 640x480 area so it's visible at all resolutions... -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. --- Reminder: --- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: REOPENED creation_date: description: In the XFree configuration, I chose "test configuration". Some time ago, it was discussed on the Cooker mailing list to have a background image. None appears, just a blank background. This doesn't make it possible to confirm the resolution, just the operation of XFree. (And even then, you have to know that the "x" cursor means that the X server/client is working.) Would it be possible to include something that shows tick marks (at 800x600, 1024x768, ...) for resolutions on some very large, non-scaled image? Then the user can confirm that the correct one was chosen.

http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=5314 [EMAIL PROTECTED] changed: What|Removed |Added Status|RESOLVED|REOPENED Resolution|DUPLICATE | --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-16-09 14:09 --- I'd like to repoen this because it's not a dup of bug 5410. In fact, what is missing is a way to confirm the selected *resolution* for XFree. That is, a sort of grill of lines that mark typical screen sizes. By displaying the image at (0,0) on the screen, the last lines shown would then correspond to the current resolution. The difference is that the colors, while nice, only confirm that XFree is working. A grill in addition (the same image) would allow to also confirm the corect native size. -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. --- Reminder: --- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: REOPENED creation_date: description: In the XFree configuration, I chose "test configuration".
