[opensuse-factory] SIS 530/620 onboard video
Hey Group; I am involved with a older system with a SIS 530/620 on board video system. Yes, miserable! The problem is that any SuSE from a boxed set 10.1 to current 10.3.Aplha# fail during booting from CD #1 just about the point at which /dev/udev is showing on the screen. It locks up the whole unit. To rescue this system I have resorted to Fedora Core 6 and it is working at this point. I tried with SuSE at the boot menu to select VESA and TEXT modes plus failsafe. Nothing worked It appears SuSE's udev is unable to setup a dev console/tty#. The screen goes black and the keyboard is dead. Anybody found a work around? -- 73 de Donn Washburn 307 Savoy Street Email: " n5xwb@hal-pc.org " Sugar Land, TX 77478 LL# 1.281.242.3256 Ham Callsign N5XWB HAMs : " n5xwb@arrl.net " VoIP via Gizmo: bmw_87kbike / via Skype: n5xwbg BMW MOA #: 4146 - Ambassador " http://counter.li.org " #279316 Did you know?

This might be improved by assigning more memory to the G-card, and the font sys in the bios of your system.... (with onboard video you at least need 256MB of Ram, but to be able to work with the system you better use 1GB.) - -- Have a nice day, M9. Now, is the only time that exists.
