594041 - Decide whether to bump all test platforms to 1680x1050

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Release Engineering :: General, defect)

Description

[John Ford [:jhford] CET/CEST Berlin Time]

So far, OS X and Fedora have both needed to have their resolution bumped to be able to run accelerated layers (bug 592903, bug 593874).

Should we preemptively increase the resolution the remaining machines?

I am choosing 1400x1050 as 1680x1050 was not available for 10.5 machines.

So far we manage the resolution for 10.5 and 10.6 (we are increasing it in the next two weeks for 10.5) and we are going to increase it for Fedora and Fedora 64 in the next 2-3 weeks as well.

The only remaining platforms would be XP, Win7 and Win7x64. IIUC from the bug description we are just considering testing Rev3 minis. If we don't bump it for these platforms we should at least research and manage it through opsi.

Let's just do for now the two platforms that we are thinking of (Fedora 32/64 and 10.5/10.6) and see what we are going to do with other platforms.

For now getting rid of this bug as we have bug 593874 and bug 592903.
