Just wanted to update everyone on my progress (or lack thereof) with problems getting SuSE 9.3 to configure my PCI video card and monitor on an e-Machine. 1) To Pat: I apologize if I never replied to your suggestion to try ctrl/alt/F1 to drop to a terminal. I did try that and got the same error message when trying to run sax2: <ups lost card during probing... abort>. 2) Over the past few days with Carl's patient assistance I have been learning how to use Instant Messaging, and I've set up the requisite accounts. So in the next couple of days I will be able to "talk" directly. I know that Carl, Lee, Stan, and Felix (forgive me if I forgot anyone) have all expressed a willingness to help. Many thanks! 3) In addition, with a reinstall of Xine and a couple of associated rpms I have solved my video playback problems. I can now play all of my video clips. :o) 4) Finally, my problmatic floppy drive does work. I can send to/retreive from the floppy using a command line. And I can see the files on the floppy if I open /media/floppy. However, I still cannot see the files when I click on the floppy icon in "my computer." That function has mysteriously gone away. Thanks to Anders for the suggestion to look at /media/floppy. :o) So, baby steps, baby steps. I am hoping that we can get to the root of this PCI video card/motherboard problem before too much longer. Thanks, everyone, for your patience and help! :o) Gil
