I went back and reread your thread opener from 3 hours ago and have to wonder how if you set in 'Section "Device"': 'Option "NoDDC"' how Xorg can know what the range is and disregard your attempt to put it where you know it should be, e.g. 'HorizSync 29-62'. Are there no clues you can comprehend in /var/log/Xorg.0.log? Uh... yeah, tell me about it... I nearly pulled my hair out...
... in fact, near the end I finally went out there and deleted *everything* xorg.conf xorg.conf.save yadda yadda and tried to start sax2... nadda. wouldn't even start ... horz sync out of range... too high... I got the machine running again by *reinstalling* it.... not a big deal, took thirty minutes... probed, found, and configured the card and the monitor (including *knowing verbatim* ) the specifics of both... and it worked flawlessly without asking me one single question. And my earlier point is simple... whatever sax is doing at install should be able to be reproduced (post install) so that adding or changing either a card or monitor is a five minute job instead of all afternoon! sigh. -- Kind regards, M Harris <>< -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
