I read the kernel how-to and miscellaneous other documentation on the subject but still haven't found anything that explains the options in menuconfig. The journey on which you are about to embark requires an intimate knowlege of your motherboard an other hardware. This is one of my favorite resources for tuning: http://www.linux.com/tuneup/ Specifically, I benefitted a lot from reading this document: http://www.linux.com/tuneup/database.phtml/Kernel/000115.html The author is a little too gung-ho for me, but these guidelines are an excellent starting point. Remember, modular kernel design is a feature that the core development group has worked VERY hard on perfecting. USE THEM :). I have my ethernet, my SCSI card, IDE-SCSI emulation module, all of the network and disk types (except ext2 and ide), and my sound and sound card built as modules. I've never had a bit of trouble. -- -=|JP|=- (Resident GNUbie) Jon Pennington | SuSE Linux 6.2 -o) super-suser(a)excite.com | Kernel 2.2.10 /\\ Kansas City, Missouri | AMD K6-III 450 _\_V ________________________________________________________________ Get FREE voicemail, fax and email at http://voicemail.excite.com Talk online at http://voicechat.excite.com -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

Whatever you did, undo it. Seriously. Remove all of the RPMs that you downloaded from the internet, and install xsvga from the SuSE 6.2 discs. You might also be interested in the stuff from the series x3d on disc 3. Once xsvga.rpm is installed, start SaX. SaX should auto-configure the card, all you have to do is set up the mouse, keyboard, monitor, and the resolutions you want. Hint: use 16-bit color modes only. 24- and 32-bit color are not implemented well on the Banshee/V3, and GLIDE/Mesa won't work at higher than 16-bit anyway. If, by some chance, SaX gives you problems (doesn't start the XSVGA server, tells you that XBanshee is not installed), leave SaX and do this: ln -sf /usr/X11/bin/XF86_SVGA /usr/X11/bin/XFCom_Banshee Try SaX again. Good luck! :) -- -=|JP|=- (Resident GNUbie) Jon Pennington | SuSE Linux 6.2 -o) super-suser(a)excite.com | Kernel 2.2.10 /\\ Kansas City, Missouri | AMD K6-III 450 _\_V ________________________________________________________________ Get FREE voicemail, fax and email at http://voicemail.excite.com Talk online at http://voicechat.excite.com -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
