Possibly one of these commands will allow SaX to come up: sax2 -r -m 0=vesa sax2 -r -m 0=radeon sax2 -r --vesa 1280x1024@60 -m 0=vesa sax2 -r --vesa 1280x1024@60 I will try and give feedback---nevertheless I'd be happy to get some advice on how to proceed from here. -- 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.

Please uninstall it by removing any fglrx package. Then try runnign 'sax2 -r' and if this does not work 'sax2 -r -m 0=radeonold'. Let me know if this helps. -- 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.

This is a Radeon LY, which has never been supported by the fglrx driver. Please uninstall it by removing any fglrx package. Then try runnign 'sax2 -r' and if this does not work 'sax2 -r -m 0=radeonold'. Let me know if this helps.

The provided SaX.log shows the fglrx driver but it is also impossible to create any configuration with all fglrx-packages removed! SaX2 won't come up at all. I will try with the radeonold option and give feedback. Am I understanding this correctly that there is a new radeon driver included in openSUSE 10.3 as compared to 10.2? In 10.2, sax2 worked beautifully... -- 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.

When I try to set a higher resolution such as 1280x1024 (which worked fine earlier) or 1024x768 and test it, the X screen hangs. No countdown, and the mouse changes between sandclock and pointer. It is still possible to switch to another virtual terminal and safely reboot. No idea how to go on from here :( -- 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.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=336079#c11 --- Comment #11 from Daniel Mader 2007-10-24 14:24:52 MST --- Thank you very much! Stupid me did not think of that :) Somehow I was thinking that the test screen is a replacement for the initial Xserver... We are now running on 1280x1024 with both internal touchpad and USB mouse working. Wouldn't it be a nice idea to make sax2 initially start with an apropriate *safe* module depending on the detected graphics card? I know that this would mean having to maintain a small database with cards and known working drivers but this issure was causing me severe headaches since it was not my computer but a very good friends one :) Anyways, 10.3 is the best SUSE I have ever tried so far. On that very machine it runs less good than before but on all other machines it is simply beautiful! -- 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.
