I am still unable to resolve the problems with getting X to run on my newly installed SuSE 9.0 system. The system is an AMD700MHz on an Asus board with an Nvidia Geoforce 440 MX with 64 MB of video memory. I just noticed that the XFree86.log file shows this:
(--) PCI:*(0:12:0) nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x] rev 162, Mem @ 0xd9000000/24, 0xdc000000/26, BIOS @ 0x000c0000/17
I think the line above is your problem. With a PCI card also, my corresponding line reads (--) PCI:*(0:13:0) nVidia Corporation NV5M64 [RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro] rev 21, Mem @ 0xcf000000/24, 0xca000000/25, BIOS @ 0xceff0000/16 No mention of AGP. I presume you configured with sax2? If so, try, as root, configuring with xf86config. Or, run /sbin/lspci and find the location of your card. I get 00:0d.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV5M64 [RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro] (rev 15) Note that initial 00:0d:0. This is in hexadecimal but your XF86Config file needs to be in decimal. So, 00:0d:0 becomes 0:13:0 and the relevant part of my file reads Section "Device" BoardName "RIVA TNT2 Model 64" BusID "0:13:0" Driver "nvidia" Identifier "Device[0]" Screen 0 Option "Rotate" "off" VendorName "NVidia" EndSection See p75 et seq of the Admin Guide for more info.
which seems to indicate an AGP card when actually it is a PCI card. The problem that I am seeing is that when I try to start X, I get the following:
