Hi! I have a question about SAX. I have installed Suse 6.3 on my 400 Pentium II on an Asus P3B-F Motherboard with 256 Mg of RAM. I have also installed it on another box that has an ABIT BX6 Motherboard with a 400 Celeron and 128 Mb of Ram. The Pentium box has Riva TNT 2 video Adapter with 32 Mg of Ram and the celeron has an ATI Rage IIc. I am running a Dell 7077 which is a multiscan monitor with a horizontal resolution range of 30-95 and a vertical of 50 - 160. Obviously the monitor will give me the screen area I desire at the requested resolution. When I finish the installation using SAX I have a 1024 x 768 screen with no virtual area even though I have specified that I wanted 1600 x 1200 during configuration The only way I can obtain the configuration I desire is to use xf86config. I don't object to using this utility, I just wonder what I may be doing wrong with SAX or has anyone else had the same problem. BTW, I am using the XSVGA server.

I had the opposite problem when I was setting up my card - I set up for no virtual desktop, but it gave me one anyway :( Sorry I can't actually *help* you...

I've experienced the exact same problem - after checking the xf86setup file, I realised that SAX doesn't set the virtual resolution correctly (this may have been fixed in SuSE 6.3 - haven't checked), in fact, it was leaving the resolution parameter empty (if I correctly recollect). So you may want to manually edit /etc/XF86Config and add a virtual 1600 1200 line under each SubSection "Display" which should do the trick. Jason. On Mon, 21 Feb 2000, Rusty wrote:

SaX has never worked for me. If I were you I'd just forget it and stick to xf86config. ------------------ Paul Talacko http://members.tripod.com/ptalacko/index.html On Mon, 21 Feb 2000, Rusty wrote:
