3. I've tried editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-device.conf to say "vesa" instead, but it won't let go of the SiS - it still tries using SiS and segfaults. Perhaps my Xorg-fu is lacking.
If you look closely in xorg.conf.d/, you should see most things are commented. For any video customizations to work using it, the basic lines need to be uncommented in 50-device, 50-monitor and 50-screen so that Xorg knows what to connect to what, e.g. http://fm.no-ip.com/Share/xorg.conf-1600x0900x120
Yes. BTDT - hassling with the SiS is old hat for me. Tried many variations based on my notes for the hassle I had setting us the SiS to work with 12.2 My point is that the setting which worked with 12.2 do not work with 12.3 I repeat THIS IS A 12.3 PROBLEM. No config I worked with under 12.2, working or not, caused the SiS driver to segfault. This isn't a simple "config" problem. Its a Segfault problem.
All the Flatron side seems happy now. I _think_ the drivers are seeing the EDID.
Any suggestions?
Is this all with the default Grub stanza?
This is all with many variations ranging from an empty xorg.conf.d/ though many settings. The last one I built up based on the xorg.conf.install stripped and translated to a 50-device/monitor/screen having removed all mention of SiS. And when that didn't work and I looked in /var/log/Xorg.0.log I see that .... there is the SiS driver segfaulting ... My best guess is that somehow the xorg code see the SiS kernel module (yes, when I run 'lsmod' its there') and thinks that's more important.
Does failsafe not help? Adding nomodeset to the cmdline ought to cause use of the VESA driver automatically.
That gets me back to the old "out of range" problem. Only this time the settings - frequency and modelines - that dealt with it don't work. That's what I mean; things that worked in 12.2 for the SiS don't work for 12.3 -- The Treasure Of The Sierra Madre never featured the line "We don't need no stinking badges!" The actual lines are: Bandit: We are federales. You know, the mounted police. Dobbs: If you're the police, where are your badges? Bandit: Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges! I don't have to show you any stinking badges! That said, if someone says, "We don't need no stinking badges!" they are quoting a movie: Blazing Saddles. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
