On the risk of asking the obvious.
You are aware that Sax2 is for Xfree 4 (and sax for xfree3.3.X) and that
Sax2 therefore saves the file as /etc/X11/XF86Config and not
/etc/XF86Config ?
I know I have succesfully configured boxes with sax2
(even on Suse 7.1)
Although since we settled on sticking NVidia graphics boards in all our
linux boxes I can just copy the XF86Config from an older install and use
that one ;) ..
Kind regards,
