Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.swap "screen0" with "screen_" under "section "screen"" of xorg.conf. and if the card dont want to start you cant do anything with it. 2. 3. more information on this setup can be found here: http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-help-here/hardware/446567-flashing-mo... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
