I find sax a lot better for configuring x.
Thanks a lot for your support, guys. I used xf86config to set the
card up and it went pretty smoothly. Like they say in the manual, it looks kind of ptimitive but it did what it was supposed to do. There is one thing, though. Everything looks gigantic! The resolution is something around 340 X "another low number". I don't get this, I mean I did choose the right resolution settings during setup and "the resolution setting for the severely nearsighted among us" wasn't even an option. Ctrl + Alt + - won't change anything. What went wrong here? Please keep in mind that this is all very new to me. -
I had the same thing happen to me and my AGP card. The low resolution screen means that you are probably using the default vga drivers, instead of the svga or accelerated driver. Try upgrading to the newest Xfree86.3.3.3.3. It is on the suse ftp site. You should only need the svga rpm or the card specific rpm for your card. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
