[lingerhouse@xxxxxxxxxxxxx (David Hattery)]

Having played with Linux for several years now, I wasn't expecting the
frustration and difficulties of getting X running under SuSE 6.1 on two
computers.  The one that I have worked hardest on is a Dell Latitude XP
laptop.  SuperProbe correctly identifies the chipset and video ram, but
neither XF86Setup or SaX have given me a successful video installation.
During SaX, I get an error log that indicates no valid modes were selected,
but I have selected the 640x480 8 bit color mode to configure.  It has a
mysterious entry that the 640x480 has been deleted because it needs a hsync
frequency of 31kHz.  This seems to be within the range of the LCD display
setting under SaX.

Any help will be appreciated.
