If you use kde4 you can always use display manager in system settings. or you can download sax2 from here:- http://rpm.pbone.net/ you will need sax2-libsax sax2-libsax-perl sax2 sax2-gui sax2-ident sax2-tools

But that same player can be called in again at any other time! It's just an option that if you can not find a replacement you can install it again. IE call on the services of the player you took off.

The "replacement" is here: http://wiki.opensuse.org/SDB:Configuring_graphics_cards#openSUSE_11.3 -- Learning French is trivial: the word for horse is cheval, and everything else follows in the same way. - Alan J.

The most recent posting from here: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=608237 ==================================================== Lee Matheson 2010-07-05 20:22:38 UTC I am closing this bug report as initiator. Fixing 'sax2' for future use is not an appropriate approach because Sax2 has clearly been dropped from distribution as there are no resources/volunteers in community to maintain the software. In most cases the automatic xorg configuration should suffice, and to help cover cases where it does not suffice a wiki http://wiki.opensuse.org/SDB:Configuring_graphics_cards was written to provide guidance to users. The possibility of a new graphic configuration wizard being created for use sometime in the future is being proposed in openFate https://features.opensuse.org/308357. ====================================================== -- Rule 46, Oxford Union Society, London: Any member introducing a dog into the Society's premises shall be liable to a fine of one pound.
