SuSE 7.3, SuSE 7.2, SuSE7.1... (No problems with Mandrake 8 either) 8.0 may support a wider range of cards, but it's pretty obvious from a wide variety of complaints/problems on this list that Sax2 is not up to the production quality of previous versions of SaX (and also YOU seems to be causing some of the problems).

I have been suffering from a severe case of "buyer's remorse" over SuSE 8.0 (nVidia GeForce2 GTS AGP card and Dell E771p monitor). SaX2 keeps forcing me to do hard resets. What chaps me is that Red Hat 7.2 installed flawlessly.
I finally figured out to tell SaX2 not to calculate modelines. But I have no idea what the differences are between CheckDesktopGeometry, IteratePrecisely, or UseFramebufferTiming. Where is this stuff documented?
How seriously should I take the warning not to edit the XF86Config file? Does SaX2 maintain its own information somewhere else?
Thanks, Peter Taylor
