Graphics problem on install
by Matt Johnson 01 Nov '00

01 Nov '00

Hopefully a simple one... I've just got in a new Dell Dimension with onboard (hmm) graphics. I want to use it as a proxy server. I bung in the Suse cd1. It boots from it. Yast2. It seems happy right up until you get the first pretty screen (the nice looking install interface - grey gui). At this point it focuses in on and magnifies the top left hand corner of the screen, and I can't do any more. It doesn't crash, it's just that all I can do is change the options that happen to be in the top left of the screen!!! So, I get clever. I use Yast and the boot disk. I use XF86Config at the end of the install. When I go into KDE with startx - again - magnifies the screen. All I can see is the message in the middle of the screen that you get when you run KDE for the first time ...creating desktop etc. etc. I've tried SaX. Won't start. I'm not very experienced with Linux. I've set up a successful proxy before, and implemented Samba, but on this I'm stuck. Any simple way I can use Yast2? (It's easy for a beginner like me). -- Matt Johnson Network Administrator Applecroft School __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Messenger - Talk while you surf!
