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?
That's not right either. After many more crashes, I reinstalled from scratch using "safe settings," and had no problem with the "nv" driver. I was never asked whether to calculate modelines. Now my only obvious problem is no sound, and again I am chapped that it worked fine when I installed Red Hat 7.2 . Peter Taylor
