install problem Athlon 2200
Hi I have installed without difficulty suse 9 on my old computer (800 Mhz Celeron) with a conexant modem. I've been having problem installing it on my Athlon XP 2200+, Asus A7V8X, LCD monitor, matrox G550, smartlink modem : 1) At the end of install, no config installation is proposed for mouse, keyboard and monitor : the screen becomes black, no console either. After a reset, the mode graphic works however, but it is impossible to use Sax or xf86config. 2) After each start, the keyboard is German (in graphic mode, but French in console) 3) Impossible to install my smartlink modem, however I have used the "smartlink-softmodem-config" described by the suse portal. Wvdial can't open /dev/ttySL0. I have tried the update kernel for athlon (144) with no better results. What am I doing wrong ? TIA

Don't know if this is of any use to you but I replaced my monitor with an LCD monitor yesterday and could not run SuSE. got absolutely rubbish on the screen. I then booted SuSE in SAFE mode and ran yast (text base yast) and then proceeded to change the monitor manually. yast ran up sax which allowed me to enter the horz and virt frequencies manually. I had a choice of LCD and VERSA for these settings. SuSE came up fine after that. I also had to adjust the gamma settings in KDE before the screen started looking its best. Nev
