Re: [opensuse-factory] Installing openSUSE 10.2 b2 on a T60 Thinkpad
James PEARSON [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hello all I installed openSUSE 10.2 b2 on an old PentiumIII at work which uses an i810 chipset. The yast install ran in ncurses mode but it ran ok. That is very notable because alot of live cds wouldn't even start an xserver on the i810 chipset. Great work! Since that worked out OK I decided to install openSUSE 10.2 b2 on my T60 Thinkpad (Model 1952 W5R). It has a Intel Centrino Duo 1.83 cpu with 2 Go of RAM and a Mobile Intel 945GM Express video chipset). Note as far as I know only openSUSE 10.1, gentoo, and the latest [k|u]buntu work OK on the Intel 945GM video chipset. Hands off to openSUSE for being one of the three. Thanks! # My report I selected a kde install as per normal. The 10.2 b2 install went fairly quickly until it hit the Download and Installation page. Creating / downloading the source(s) took some 20 minutes. First remark. Why does creating / downloading the source(s) take so long ? (here's is what I hope will be taken as constructive criticism - as I can download 1000 kb/sec+ on my side, I would appreciate more speed on the suse side. I personally would be willing to pay for higher download speeds - please note I have had problems in the past with slow updates when installing suse using the orginal 10.1 CD's and ended up leaving the computer on all night - maybe you could consider a subscription service something a la Mandriva for higher d/l speeds). On the creating / downloading the source(s) page, yast2 had a problem creating one of the sources (it definitely appeared to be looping for awhile). After some 20 minutes yast2 offered be the choice to hit the skip button and finished the install. Please create a bug report for these two and attach /var/log/YaST (as tar file) and /var/log/zmd*log When the install finished, yast rebooted automatically into kde but I had no kde menu panel. I managed to open a konsole window and I noticed that I had no IP either. Please note that I had selected Network manager during the install instead of the traditional setup method as I normally do. It would appear that Network manager had a problem when it had to choose between the normal network cable (which definitely works - I just deleted a working 10.1 install in order to test 10.2) and the Intel PRO/Wireless 3945 ABG chipset (which still had to be fully configured). There are already bugs in this area, I think you hit a duplicate. rcnetwork restart should fix it - if not, please open a bugreport. I rebooted again. On the second reboot I had a SUSEPlugger - The KDE Crash Hander window telling me that The application SUSEPluger (suseplugger) crashed and casued the signal 6 (SIGABRT) Known bug - mentioned in the most annoying ones. I would really like to work with you on this in order to get openSUSE working on my T60. Please let me know what logs I need to send to help improve things. Thanks for your testing!

I'd propose to check how useful /etc/cryptotab is. I see several disadvantages compared to an entry in /etc/fstab: a) /etc/cryptotab needs an explicit /dev/loopX entry YaST2 always puts the first (at partition creation time) available device (usually /dev/loop0) to /etc/cryptotab This becomes funny if you manually add a loop mount to your fstab which is mounted at boot time - in fact, you won't be able to mount the encrypted partition because /dev/loop0 is already in use. In fstab, you don't need to specify which loop device to use - you specify the loop option and it simply uses the first available, whatever number it has. Yes, you can specify which loop device to use in /etc/fstab or you can modify /etc/cryptotab to use another loop device - but this are ugly workarounds. b) if you skipped mounting your encrypted partition while booting, you can't mount them with mount afterwards if they are not listed in fstab. See also https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=209647 (which might be invalid for yast2-storage, but not for the whole story) In short, there's no additional value by using a separate file (/etc/cryptotab) for encrypted partitions, but several disadvantages and problems. OTOH, I see no disadvantages when using /etc/fstab for encrypted partitions. Did I already mention that I suggest to drop /etc/cryptotab completely and to put all partitions, including encrypted, to /etc/fstab? ;-)) Regards, Christian Boltz PS: If you decide not to drop /etc/cryptotab, please consider to drop the loop device column. I proposed this some time ago [1], but this was (understandable) WONTFIX because it would be an incompatible change. Now that you are going to do major changes, compatibility could get rated lower.

It's been a while ago since i experimented with crypto (beginning 10.1 ;-) But from what i recollect... 1) Using the general partitioner, with yast, results in a partition that gets mounted at startup. works well, but the partition gets mounted allways. 2) Some people (not me) wants to encrypt EVERYTHING, inluding swap and root. AFAIK, that is still not possible. Perhaps its should be pointed out, that it both a) irrelevant, and b) counter productive. a) 90% on the harddisk is opensource and general available b) encrypting cost cpu-cycles,so hard disk will be slowed down. 3) best solution (imho) is to have for each individual user a seperate container, which gets mounted on his home directory after login (pam_mount) 4) for the the paranoia, have also /var/spool/mail en swap encrypted Nothing else is worthwhile 5) for the super-paranoia, encrypt with the key from a smartcard.

However, it's important that you encrypt /tmp and (large parts of) /var because sooner or later your data leaks out to a tempfile or alike... Encrypted swap is also a good thing from the security point of view (you never know which of your data gets swapped out) - unfortunately it doesn't work with suspend2disk AFAIK. b) encrypting cost cpu-cycles,so hard disk will be slowed down.

[opensuse] Why does kde-update overwrite personal settings?
Hi, After updating to the latest kde, many of my personal settings (like theme, styles, used fonts, screensaver etc.) have been overwritten/changed to some defaults and I had to reset them in kde control center manually. For some special settings not accessible via control center (like size of k-menu items) I must now search the mailing list archives, because I have forgotten how to do it meanwhile. This is quite a lot of work... By a young friend using kubuntu and always updating to the very latest kde I was *told*, that he never has to adjust his setting again after an update. (*told* means: I don't know if this is really true.) 3 questions: - did I do something wrong so that part of my settings are lost? - are the previuos settings saved somewhere, so I could easily get them back after the update? - *if* kubuntu really can keep all the settings with an update, why can't Suse? thanks for your hints.

I think he already solved the problem, but asked why yast did not set up generic as required, when he configured postfix in yast. Almost correct. I did find the problem. The Yast MTA module has a Masquerading button, which effectively edits sender_canonical and creates the hash. This has worked up until 10.2. This quit working with 10.2, so I did some digging. I believe it still changed the from address, but somehow there was a header line, X-Postfix-Sender (see above), with the original sender. Research seemed to indicate what I needed to use was generic and not sender_canonical. So, I added via What I find strange about this is why this header was added at all. Headers with the format X-xx are non-standard headers, and a closer look in this case reveals that it isn't a header at all, it is part of the body of the bounce message. POSTFIX_ADD_GENERIC the hash type and path to /etc/sysconfig/postfix, as well as added generic to the postfix maps SuSEconfig creates. I then added the same mapping as in sender_canonical to generic, ran SuSEconfig, and it fixed the problem. So my question I guess, in the interest of making 10.2 a great release, is has postfix changed in this regard, has generic vs sender_canonical changed, which may need a bug report for the Yast module, or have I made some flawed steps in my understanding or troubleshooting? Can't say that without more details. It should work with canonical as well, but it might be that additional settings are necessary. Here's what the documentation say: By default the canonical(5) mapping affects both message header addresses (i.e. addresses that appear inside messages) and message envelope addresses (for example, the addresses that are used in SMTP protocol commands). This is controlled with the canonical_classes parameter. NOTE: Postfix versions 2.2 and later rewrite message headers from remote SMTP clients only if the client matches the local_header_rewrite_clientsparameter,orifthe remote_header_rewrite_domain configuration parameter speci- fies a non-empty value. To get the behavior before Postfix 2.2, specify local_header_rewrite_clients = static:all. It might be worth to investigate this. Could you check your configuration in for these settings with output of postconf: - postconf local_header_rewrite_clients - postconf remote_header_rewrite_domain - postconf canonical_classes I can't really comment on the yast module for the postfix configuration, since I never used it (I always configure all files manually). Sandy I figured as much. I have appreciated your depth of postfix knowledge, Sandy, but for me SuSEconfig's postfix script and the Yast module have done a very good job for the most part, and improving it would help more users in the long run. Thanks again for your thoughts. The yast modules is helping to set up a local server for a small company or a home network. Most of these users don't need to work out the finer details of antispam configuration or tune the server for effective use of available resources. A few weeks ago I set up a temporary replacement server for our mailgateway (Suse 9.2 needed to be upgraded) and tried to set up the basic config with the postfix yast module (now on Suse 10.0). Half way during the configuration I didn't understand what settings yast offered to me and gave up. My trouble appearantly was that I couldn't understand Yast anymore since it didn't speak to me in Postfix terms. (^-^) Sandy -- List replies only please!

Nice explanation :-) The first time all my pc were shutting down, I was at work, couldn't connect to my servers at home anymore and came back to a dark house without power. Some workers were busy digging out the earth in the neighbarhood and destroyed the main power cable for our side of the street. So the ups kept providing currency for a few minutes, then apcupsd told all server to shut down. That part worked flawlessly. After two hours the power returned, they used a temporary workaround, so people were not left in the dark. Unfortunately they needed to cut power again to swith back to the repaired normal power cable, and my ups didn't have to time to recharge sufficiently, so my workstation was shutting down almost at once again... I wasn't fast enough to save the draft I was writing on. :-/ One of the things I miss in documentations is an explanation of how things work, not the usual extensive options explanations, like in http://www.postfix.org/documentation.html. So reading your explanation is a welcome change. It's the usual difference between a reference and an in-depth explaining book designed to teach you WHY things work the way they do. Though I have to say that Wietse takes great pain to keep the documentation accurate, up-to-date and even transparent for users of different versions (most settings available in Postfix have a remark for which versions of Postfix they have been introduced). A frequent reply from Wietse is If it is not documented, it is not implemented. A mailinglist server is a special case. If a mailing list has a lot of subscribers, then a few incoming mails are sufficient to generate many thousands of outgoing emails. So Postfix will per default use a max of 100 smtp processes. 5 emails are submitted to the mailing list manager, 1 emails are generated, and Postfix is using all 100 smtp processes to send mails out. If you are using amavisd-new to first filter the mail, that mail might have to wait for a smtp process to be free to be delivered to amavisd-new. Amavis can use lmtp instead. But I'm too sleepy to know if it is postfix to amavis or viceversa O:-) Bothe amavis and Postfix can use lmtp to transfer mails. The recommended way though is to define additional transports with the settings you need for that transport. One example is relay, another frequently used is amavis or amavis-smtp. That transport is used to restrict the number of concurrent processes at a limit the server can handle. master.cf: smtp inet n - n - 100 smtpd -o content_filter=smtp-amavis:[127.0.0.1]:10024 smtp-amavis unix - - n - 2 smtp -o content_filter= -o smtpd_recipient_restrictions=permit_mynetworks,reject -o mynetworks=127.0.0.0/8 That way there are 100 smtpd processes that accept mails but only two smtp processes are allowed to transfer mails to the expensive content_filter. If necessary, Mails will pile up in front of the content_filter, but the server will eventually process them (provided mails don't come in faster than Amavis can scan them in a reasonable time).

This is the opposite of canonical(5) mapping, which applies when mail is received. Typically, one would use the generic(5) table on a system that does not have a valid Internet domain name and that uses something like localdo‐ main.local instead. The generic(5) table is then used by the smtp(8) client to transform local mail addresses into valid Internet mail addresses when mail has to be sent across the Internet. See the EXAM‐ PLE section at the end of this document. The generic(5) mapping affects both message header addresses (i.e. addresses that appear inside messages) and message envelope addresses (for example, the addresses that are used in SMTP protocol commands). Which seems exactly what I needed, and indeed did work (but in the process confused me how it ever worked before). Is the above saying (as it seems to me) that canonical mapping are only for incoming mail, while generic is for outgoing mail? Is sender_canonical changing the sender of incoming mail?

That is how it appears, but made me doubt how it Postfix isn't built with a single I-do-everything binary, instead it uses several programs to handle specific tasks. Generic is applied by the smtp client program, so it can only be used for mails which are handed to the smtp client, and the job of the smtp client is usually to send a mail out. canonical on the other hand is used by the cleanup daemon which checks a mail prior to queueing it to make sure that all required headers are present and if necessary insert it. Cleanup is also the daemon that applies header/body checks, by the way. So these checks and rewriting take place for incoming mails, before they are queued. Some headers may not be present at the time cleanup is checking the mail, while generic will see all headers since it sees the mails at the time it leaves the system. seemed to work before.

[opensuse] What do you use for LDAP entry management
Hello, I'm looking for recommendations for an LDAP client tool with a GUI, i.e., a tool to maintain LDAP entries. This tool should enable me to search, add and delete entries. I'm using SUSE 10.0 currently, but it's also OK if the tool is only available for 10.1. (Eventually, I will need to run it on SLES.) The use case is not user or group management, but an LDAP server with server certificates. The target users are admins that will do this task rarely, therefore I would prefer a GUI. I've seen that gq and luma exists on suser-guru/packman, and I have heard of LAT (http://dev.mmgsecurity.com/projects/lat/, existence SUSE rpm not known). LAT needs mono which makes for a quite big dependency. Can anybody recommend one of these tools? Is there another tool that I should know about and that could be used?

[opensuse] LCD with CRT on laptop
Hi all, I'm using SuSE 10.1 on a laptop, and I do a lot of presentations. I would like to have both the LCD and the external (VGA) monitor output working simultaneously all the time, or have an easy way to switch the external monitor output on and off. As a complication, my system currently crashes if I change video mode! Here's what I have so far. If I boot without an external monitor connected, and attempt to use the (BIOS defined??) hot key sequence to toggle the external display, nothing happens. If I boot with an external monitor connected, the external display is driven, and the LCD panel is shut off. I can't use the hot-key sequence to reactivate the panel (very irritating as the projector screen is usually behind me!) On an older laptop by the same manufacturer (Toshiba) I found that if I booted with the external display connected, but then disconnected it after GRUB had done its thing, then plugged it back in after the login screen, then both screens would be live. This doesn't happen on the newer machine. Most recently, I used SaX to try to enable DualHead mode. That has been partially successful. What I expected was two displays side by side with the mouse running between them. What I got is both displays running (at different resolutions) but showing identical output. Sounds good, right? Well only to a point. The problem with this arrangement is that if I boot with the external display connected, all works great, but despite the amount of time I work in this mode, I still use the system more without an external display connected. If I boot without an external display, the LCD never powers up! So I can't see anything, and I can't even try to logout or shutdown the system... I have to force it off with the power switch (thank heavens for journaling file systems!) Any suggestions? TIA Simon You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers.

[opensuse] Netpbm graphics manipulation procedures
Folks, I need to convert *.xwd files (X-Windows Dump) into something useful, such as *.pnm files. Gimp works, but takes too much time processing each file. 1) There is a prcedure xwdtopnm xygraf.xwd xwdtopnm: can't handle X11 pixmap_format 1 with depth != 1 That message is mysterous. What does it mean? 2) I down-loaded netpbm-10.26.33.tgz by way of sourceforge.org , extract it and began trying to build a more recent library of image manipulation procedures. Next I get: ./configure Cannot find the include files for SVGALIB. Enter the directory where they reside, or none. If none, a default make will not build programs that require the SVGALIB library. What library? Where do I find it? Certianly nothing looks like it on my SuSE 10.1 disks. Q1) Does anyone here know the answer to my problem? Q2) If not, where to I start to ask questions? Many thanks.

[opensuse] input out of range at runlevel 3, but in X ... the display is fine
The subject line describes the situation pretty well. I've got a server that I cannot use with either a raritan KVM that has an HP tft7210r monitor. If I disconnect the server from the KVM, and hook it to an HP 1755 LCD monitor, I get the input out of range message, unless I am in X windows, where it works fine. When I connect it to a CRT monitor (tried several different ones) it works in both text and X windows. For the stand alone monitor, I've gone into yast to configure the graphic card and monitor, and it launches sax2 in what looks like a graphical mode. I pick generic lcd monitor and give horizontal and vertical values that are supported by the monitor, but ... as soon as connect it to the lcd, the screen goes blank unless I am in X windows. If I'm in X windows and then logout (so it bumps back to the console) ... then blank again. When I'm at the console, it appears that the bash font is quite small, which suggests that, somehow, the text mode graphics system is at a high res? But I don't see any way to modify the text mode video values. For the KVM .. I don't know what to do, because I can't see the screen in any mode ever. I've switch KVM connectors and ports and etc ... so that is not it. All other servers (windows and netware) are fine. I'm stuck, and folks are asking for the ability to get to the server from the kvm ... what to do next?

Re: [opensuse] LCD with CRT on laptop
On Thursday 16 November 2006 11:25, Simon Roberts wrote Most recently, I used SaX to try to enable DualHead mode. That has been partially successful. What I expected was two displays side by side with the mouse running between them. What I got is both displays running (at different resolutions) but showing identical output. Sounds good, right? Well only to a point. Any suggestions? The answer to this question depends on the notebook you're using... and the projector... and unfortunately they all do this thing differently. First, the hotkey sequence to toggle between the external VGA and the TFT LCD is only partially bios, and in fact is designed to interface with a windoze driver [thnaks to the M$ evil monopoly]. However, determining which output is active (on) by default is controlled (usually) by the bios only. On my IBM ThinkPad R30 I set the bios display output to *BOTH* which by default sends the video output to both the LCD and the external VGA port. This works fine for the most part, however, there are a few catches which you have also run into. The first catch is video resolution on the output to the projector. Your laptop is configured (xorg.conf) for the LCD TFT monitor... and is not configured for VGA output to a tube. Fortunately most modern projectors are setup to sense and tune to whatever output it gets. (you need one of those projectors). My projector will sometimes come up in 800x600 even though I am configured for 1024x768. The projector has a top side button that when pressed will toggle up to the next resolution (if available) and then display correctly. The second thing you'll probably run into is screen blanking or screen saver modes. When I am teaching and I need the projector to be up all the time I manually configure the bios (for that night) to use *BOTH* LCD and VGA. I manually disable xscreensaver (I don't use the KDE default) and I have the laptop bios set to *never* blank the screen (not turn off the CCFL backlight). Try looking at your bios settings (setup mode) for the laptop (which one is it?). Actually your dual head mode through SAX may be the best you are going to get with this setup. The next step is to get more personally acquainted with the projector you are using. You may even want to consider upgrading the projector (better lumens, auto sensing, tapazoid output [keystoning]... etc). Also, you might want to look closer at the dual head settings in SAX... I have not... and see if you have the option to individually configure the video to each head... Which projector is it...?Which notebook...? -- Kind regards, M Harris -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Connect the HP mon to the server directly and try to bring it up in run level 5. If you get the input out of range message, then press the key sequence Ctrl + Alt + [+] The [+] key is the far right plus key on the numeric keypad. the sequence will toggle the video modes and will probably send a mode that the HP will be happy with. If the above works, then its time to get the server to come up in a default mode that the HP will be happy with, and you can do that manually by editing the xorg.conf file. You will need to edit the file manually (not SaX, not Yast, etc) ... consider the following hypothetical lines from an xorg.conf file : clip Section Screen DefaultDepth 24 SubSection Display Depth 24 Modes 800x600 768x576 640x480 1024x768 EndSubSection Device Device[0] Identifier Screen[0] Monitor Monitor[0] EndSection /clip The Modes line for depth 24 has been manually changed to place the 1024x768 resolution last. By default the display will come up in run level 5 at resolution 800x600 with a 1024x768 virtual display. Also, all other resolutions have been removed... manually... I only have four of them coded. You will need to find out which Modes resolution is offending the HP and remove it. Only provide the modes (you often have to do this manually) that are supported by the HP. Sometimes xorg.conf will have modes resolutions (extra ones you didn't configure in SaX) that are not supported by the monitor and which may cause problems. One more thing... not all monitors, keyboards, and mice will work through KVM reliably... make sure that all of your hardware is compatible. -- Kind regards, M Harris -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[opensuse] kubuntu question

So I pose the question here: I got some Kubuntu discs a little while ago, and I would like to try them on my XP computer, which presently has a separate HD with Suse 10.0 on it. (I have another computer dedicated at the moment to Suse 9.3.) I will blow off Suse 10.0 and install Kubuntu, but I have questions: First, all the Kubuntu discs have the same stuff on the label-- Version 6.06 LTS, but no sequence number. How do I find disc 1, etc.? (All the disks seem to have a readme file which in each case says disknum 1.) Is this safe to do with whatever the Kubuntu installer does?

Re: [opensuse] Inspiron 9400 question about shrinking partition
On Thursday 16 November 2006 19:14, you wrote: Ok! I do not own partition magic, are there any reliable foss solutions for the problem? Since I do not have any windows installations I do not want to do away with this factory install, I want to tinker with the beast. I have been windows free since 1998. Due respects to rudolf... but NTFS is not supported (well its supported in read only mode) and the shrinking software on the system I setup for my daughter clobbered the NTFS partition... end of story. I had a similar problem with my daughter's HP s7400n slimline system that we setup for college. She wanted to keep the XP partition (just in case) to tinker with it, or in case she ran into a situation at the college where something would only *work* there... anyway, she mostly does Suse 10 and has never needed the partition, but I will relay the story just the same. As stated earlier the shrinking software *did not* handle the partition correctly and it would not bootup again. Fortunately for her, HP provides a backup partition that can be loaded from bios that will restore the factory preload in case of catastrophe... and that worked fine. What I did for her was to format the shrunk partition and then install Suse 10 on the remainer of the drive. Then I used DD to save the MBR to a file. Then I reinstalled the factory software from the backup partition, and then restored the Linux MBR. This all worked fine. As it turned out... she is now M$ free as well and has finally lost her paranoia about *maybe* needing windoze... so it was a lot of work for nothing... she is happily writing papers with OpenOffice, emailing with Thunderbird, and Surfing with Firefox... and she has *never* had a system crash yet... Go for it... wipe out the XP partition... you'll never miss it. Oh, by the way, did I mention that her factory preloaded software from HP was almost entirely a marketing gig? Yeah, most of the system was a teaser... try this for a while then download the real thing for some more BIG bucks... and most of it (except the lame windoze games) come preloaded and fully functional in Suse 10. Go ahead... tinker with it... then blow it away. -- Kind regards, M Harris -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [opensuse] LCD with CRT on laptop

That has been partially successful. What I expected was two displays side by side with the mouse running between them. What I got is both displays running (at different resolutions) but showing identical output. Sounds good, right? Well only to a point. Any suggestions? The answer to this question depends on the notebook you're using... and the projector... and unfortunately they all do this thing differently. First, the hotkey sequence to toggle between the external VGA and the TFT LCD is only partially bios, and in fact is designed to interface with a windoze driver [thnaks to the M$ evil monopoly]. However, determining which output is active (on) by default is controlled (usually) by the bios only. On my IBM ThinkPad R30 I set the bios display output to *BOTH* which by default sends the video output to both the LCD and the external VGA port. This works fine for the most part, however, there are a few catches which you have also run into. The first catch is video resolution on the output to the projector. Your laptop is configured (xorg.conf) for the LCD TFT monitor... and is not configured for VGA output to a tube. Fortunately most modern projectors are setup to sense and tune to whatever output it gets. (you need one of those projectors). My projector will sometimes come up in 800x600 even though I am configured for 1024x768. The projector has a top side button that when pressed will toggle up to the next resolution (if available) and then display correctly. The second thing you'll probably run into is screen blanking or screen saver modes. When I am teaching and I need the projector to be up all the time I manually configure the bios (for that night) to use *BOTH* LCD and VGA. I manually disable xscreensaver (I don't use the KDE default) and I have the laptop bios set to *never* blank the screen (not turn off the CCFL backlight). Try looking at your bios settings (setup mode) for the laptop (which one is it?). Actually your dual head mode through SAX may be the best you are going to get with this setup. The next step is to get more personally acquainted with the projector you are using. You may even want to consider upgrading the projector (better lumens, auto sensing, tapazoid output [keystoning]... etc). Also, you might want to look closer at the dual head settings in SAX... I have not... and see if you have the option to individually configure the video to each head... Which projector is it...?Which notebook...? - Well, it's not my projector, it belongs to the folks I'm teaching. That's usually the case, and didn't used to cause any trouble. The notebook is a Toshiba A105-S4324. The dual head/clone mode I'm currently using is driving 1280x800 to the LCD and 1024x768 to the external display. That's really quite a nice touch, and I'd be a happy bunny if it would boot normally with that mode selected but the external video disconnected. When I try that, I seem to end up with a blank LCD. Very odd, and clearly rather incapacitating. I guess my problem is my video card in some way, or perhaps the driver. I have--as I understand it--an Intel Intel GMA950 video card. It appears to be using the i810 module for XFree86. The SaX configuration greys out the optiions to select between clone and xinerama modes, so I guess that it's not capable of generating different data on each of the two physical screens. I can live with that if that's the case, though I'm a little suprised that what I thought was a modern card can't do that. I'll play with the bios settings over the weekend, but from what you say, I might do better just fixing the change video mode crash and using the dual-head option. Or better yet, just finding out how to boot it with the dual head mode when the external display isn't connected.
