The strangest thing is that the ATI setup package has left my monitor in a state where it just displays trashy colored lines. The display works fine through the install process. The first couple times I installed SuSE 10.1, the monitor worked fine; just in the wrong mode (non-widescreen). Now I can't get finish the install without it going into that trashy line mode.
I assume you are trying to install 10.1
Yes, I neglected to mention that.
It took me a *week* to get 10.1 to use my ATI card and I almost gave up on 10.1 because of it.
I'm almost there myself.
I finally:
1) I finally downloaded the ATI binary driver. 2) Used the xorg.conf from the install to at least have something that would work while I tried to configure. 3) Ran sax2 which put the screen into a pretty unreadable mode. 4) Thru guess and trial-by-error I made some selections that finally set my LCD up properly. (1600x1200 was what I needed but all I could get out of the install was 1280x1024)
I did get it to work but I immediately switched cards to an NVidia and I haven't looked back. Getting rid of all of my ATI cards.
I can't even get the binary driver to work. The best looking screen I can get is totally black (except for a little window that says I should be in the 1680 x 1050 mode that stays on the screen for a few minutes). I see an nvidia in my near future. Thanks, Jim -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
