Lee, the MB does not have an AGP slot -- only 3 PCI slots.
The on-board is disabled in the BIOS. The only two options in the BIOS are "on-board" and "PCI."
Both video cards are identified by SuSE, but neither can be configured with SuSE. The video output of both is below acceptable standards (scrolling problems and other issues described in prior e-mails).
Both video cards can be configured with Knoppix and video performance is superb with Knoppix.
They work perfectly with Knoppix; they don't work with SuSE. Nothing else is different.
How can it be a hardware issue when this is the case?

Gil, Usually the onboard is the AGP, if there is no slot available and many of the settings on different motherboards in the BIOS reflect that. How are you trying to configure the cards/monitor? If from KDE, then don't. Drop down to your terminal, ctrl-alt-F1, login as root, init 3 and sax2 -l That will put in text mode and the -l will give you a fresh low res initial screen. You might also try sax2 -r first to make it reread the hardware and see if things setup from there. If I were you, I think I would remove the old xorg.conf file/s first in case something is wrong from your previous attempts. Once thru with sax2 and back at the prompt do: init 5 to get back to your login screen. Whether the cards ran perfectly in Knoppix or not doesn't help you much here. If you are going to run Knoppix, then fine, you know they'll work, but I assume you intend to run SuSE, so that's where you should concentrate your attention. regards, Lee -- --- KMail v1.8.2 --- SuSE Linux Pro v9.2 --- Registered Linux User #225206 There's no problem so awful that you can't add some guilt to it and make it even worse! ...Calvin & Hobbes
