Sax was SuSE-specific all the way. Now that that X11 supports runtime configuration through the RANDR extension, xrandr became the one generic tool. krandrtray and gnome-display-properties are just GUIs for configuring through RANDR.

I think that it will be a serious problem. Autoconfiguration of X works for me most of the time, but not always on every machine. Houghi is right though. We need to worry about a replacement. The work-arounds given in bugzilla #608237 won't work for newbies. I guess we've given up on new folks. Some cooperation among all the distro providers might produce something positive here. -- --- Paul J. Gans

So if it did not install it must be a bug. I done a dummy run and went to software and typed sax2 it was checked for installation.
