Where's YaST's "knob" for making screen text bigger during installation? F3 is useless for the GUI.
One size does not and cannot fit all!!! Native video mode may be best from a designer perspective, but for many people, results from native just aren't usable. Some people need bigger screen objects, and are aware lowering resolution is a way to get what they need. Is https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Linuxrc relatively complete? If there's anything there directing the installer to use a particular video mode, I'm missing it. Strings "video" and "driver" are both absent. As I virtually always install using HTTP started from Grub, which preconfigures host and netcfg, any more I have minimal familiarity with what's in the DVD's menu WRT F3 video, which is why I went to that web page looking. I often go there for other reasons. Also because of the absent familiarity, I did several NET initializations to take screenshots, to make sure my eyes weren't deceiving me: yastI-grubShttp-cmdlineVideo1024x768dvi.png yastI-grubShttp-videoDefaultDVI.png yastI421F3-800x600on1920x1080-dvi.png yastI421F3-1280x1024on1680x1050.png all @ http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/Suse/YaST/421/ All are at the display's EDID native mode, not the cmdline video= specified mode. Apparently that desired mode is only utilized by the vttys, not Xorg's modesetting driver: xorg.0.log-421Installation-video1024x768ignored xorg.0.log-421installation-DefaultVideo xorg.0.log-NET421Installation-F3-800x600on1920x1080 xorg.0.log-NET421installation-F3-1280x1024on1680x1050 all @ http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/SUSE/421/ TW doesn't appear to work any differently: http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/Suse/YaST/TW/yastItw160305F3-800x600on1680x1050.png http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/SUSE/Xorg/xorg.0.log-twInstallation0303-F3-800x600on1680x1050 Those are all on Intel gfx, but results are same with ATI: http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/Suse/YaST/TW/yastItw160305F3-radeon1024x768on1680x1050.png http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/SUSE/Xorg/xorg.0.log-twinstallation0303-F3-radeon1024x768on1680x1050 Must the GUI use the modesetting video driver instead of an Intel, Radeon or Nouveau driver? Xorg by default picks up specified video= from kernel, which gets it via cmdline, and uses it for users of the Intel driver. Do I need to file a BOO bug to get the modesetting driver to pick up and use video= from the installation kernel's cmdline? I didn't find any on point. Maybe because of last paragraphs on https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2016-03/msg00309.html one will already have been filed by someone else by Monday AM. Those with 3840x2160 or other high density screens are apparently in big trouble trying to install. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
