... 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.
Now that you have a working xorg.conf, share it with us, and SaX.log. Maybe someone can find the magical content that doesn't happen otherwise and get a fixable bug filed. People shouldn't be constantly coming here and complaining their common LCD display types aren't properly configured and can't be configured by mere mortals, or by yast/sax. -- "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" 2 Corinthians 5:17 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.
