Hi, It may or not make difference, but you could try using nVidia drivers. Altought you´ve got probably VESA drivers during install X should try to start at higher resolutions at the normal operation. nVidia driver also gives you option of using hardware acceleration for 3D as well. The package bellow will compile you the server component. The installation/compile should run pretty straight. You should change you graphics drivers to the one indicated in the documentation in the /etc/X11/XF86Config file. SaX should help you change monitor resolutions and other settings. Good luck. http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_amd64_1.0-5332.html Mamoru Yamanishi cc: Subject: [suse-amd64] X-window does not work with Tyan Tiger K8W 18/03/2004 10:23 PM Hello, I am new to this mailing list; the technical support of SuSE recommended to join me this. I am using Tyan Tiger K8W and GeForce4 MX440 (no brand), and having trouble at starting X. CPU and memory are Opteron240 x 2, and PC2700 x 2. I could install SuSE 9 AMD64 without trouble, where I saw graphical installer running on KDE and SaX2 worked. However, once the system restarted, X-window does not work. I can only work with run-level 3. Starting run-level 3, I tested 'startx' or so, but failed: KDE shows splash screen where progress of initiation is shown, but stop before changing user desktop. At this point, cursor followed the movement of the mouse, but keyboard did not work. I suggested to use both BIOS and kernel options. I will try every combination of them. If there are some one who can use use X-windows with Tyan's motherboard, please tell me BIOS settings and kernel options. I pass through the title of the archive of this mailing list, but cannot find about Tyan Tiger K8W (but Thunder K8W, which is quite different mother board, I think). -- Mamoru Yamanishi, Ph.D. N131 Beadle Center, University of Nebraska-Lincoln Lincoln, NE 68588-0664 Phone: 402-472-9507 (Banerjee's Lab) Fax: 402-472-4961 (Redox Biology Center) -- Check the List-Unsubscribe header to unsubscribe For additional commands, email: suse-amd64-help@suse.com ---------------------------------------------------------- The information contained in this communication is intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom it is addressed and others authorized to receive it.
