IMHO we shouldn't support such old hardware any longer with openSUSE 10.2.
My i815 system's X works just fine with Debian Etch, Knoppix, Mandriva 2006, and Ubuntu Edgy. Dropping support for common older hardware would just add reasons for people to choose other distros. As previously noted, I have both i810 and i815. The i810 has SUSE 10.0 installed. Its kernel line includes a parameter put there by the installer that I have never seen elsewhere: x11i=vesa. I've had absolutely no success in finding docs on x11i, so have no idea why it's there or whether it might be relevant here. Was the S3 "card" a chip on the motherboard using shared RAM, as both i810 and i815 do? I'm looking forward to the next ftp update to installation kernel and initrd to try again. Is acceleratedx=1 required, or optional, for a graphical installation to proceed? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
