Whoops...
SaX: ups lost card during probing ... abort
pooter:~#
Which card I wonder, did it lose?
I stumbled across something in yast which indicates that the OS knows
about the matrox millenium card, under system>pci drivers>pci card setup
The matrox is listed as being in there, but I don't know what to do with
it (add it? What criteria/settings?)...
Ooohh, I suppose this is character forming. So is trying to run a gui
(xfce4) on a 128mb P350 - but, hey, at least that one works! Well, with
patience.
