Hello,

I finally got my new HD and am installing Linux on it
while I sort out my IDE RAID issues...

While running Yast2 to install Suse 7.1 I reach the 
point where it is checking the video/graphics card. It
actually finds a driver and puts the card
configuration
window. My problems are:

1. It only give 640 x 480 resolution option. Others
are
   greyed out. This card clearly has much higher res.
   How do I get better resolution selected? Is there
   anothe rdriver for this card?

2. When I try the settings TEST it doesn't do
anything.
   I just see the dialog / settings window flash
again.
   If I hit ESC as they ask nothing happens. If I hit
   next it tells me run TEST first. I hit TEST many
   times but when I hit next, it tells me run TEST
   first...

3. I disabled the configure X11 and was able to finish
   Linux installation (i.e. I got past item #2). 
   However, when the machine boots, it comes up in
   command line mode and logs me in in command line
   mode. I guess the graphic card driver never 
   installed. I tried launching Gnome and got lots of
   X11 errors.

What should I do?

Thanks for y'all's help in advance.

Babu
