Oh, I've just noticed something - Monitor 1 (there is no monitor two mentioned!) doesn't have any name attached to the video card setting, tho' its recognsied the IIyama LCD monintor model correctly. Hmmm. On Tue, 2006-01-17 at 21:14 +0000, M.Blackmore wrote:

Total lock up with two different nvidia cards (fx5500, followed by 5200), won't install graphics on installation of Suse 10 (Linux Magazine UK version DVD - good on Linux Mag!!).
I've had mixed success so far.
The systems also got a matrox millenium pci card for a second display, which I have had in and out of the box, and played with pic slot irq assignations etc.
--------------------------------------------------------------------- Have you tried removing the Matrox card to see if things begin to work normally?
Nope, doing that didn't work initially using sax2/yast tools - lockup.
I did, however, set up a basic nvidia generic driver using xf86config, and that seemed to enable something enough to run sax2, and I was then able to set up the nvidia card and monitor using the pointyklikky tools that lusers like me like... however, no second card with this.
You might also check your /var/log/messages file or the Xorg.0.log for errors/help in what's happening.
Had a look at those but didn't mean anything to me - a reflection of my ignorance. But didn't seem to be anything saying "failed" or whatever. System just hangs on running sax2.
Are you saying the setup doesn't work with either the SuSE supplied nv driver or nVidia's driver?
Yes, problem was with both.
OK, now if I was able to, with both the matrox card in and out of the system, do something with xf86config that enabled sax2 to run, how can I set up the second PCI slot card as well using the same method - it might work??
Sax2 isn't recognising the existence of the second card now that I've taken it out. I did have a system running with both cards recognised but the monitor settings were all wrong and I couldn't run the yast control panel to change them without locking the system.
At least I can get a single monitor system running, which is an improvement. I like GUIs - as thick as two short planks when it comes to command lines...
Yours in bafflement
