I'm installing SuSE 6.3 on a brand new HP Vectra VL with a Matrox G200 (on board) graphics card.
Initially I installed the FTP version of SuSE 6.3 and everything worked as I expected. Since the FTP version differs from the CD version I have, I decided to reinstall fresh from CD.
I encounter problems when I try to configure the X server (XF86_SVGA). When I try to use a resolution of 1280x1024 the machine locks. On a remote terminal I can see that the X server is taking more than 90% of the CPU resources. The monitor displays a "No Signal" message and I'm forced to reboot the machine. Just curious what you used to configure it? I don't have a G200, I have a G100, but SAX always screws it up. I have set it up for 3 different versions of SuSE now and still have to do it the old way with xf86config to get it right.
In my first install (FTP) I used SAX with no problems. On the second (CD) I've used SAX and xf86config. It seems OK if I try lower resolutions, like 800x600, but that is not acceptable, we need 1280x1024 or more. I'm reinstalling again from FTP, that worked before.
