I'm trying to install SuSE 5.3 on a Pentium II (233 MHz, 32 MB RAM) with an AGP video card using the Cirrus Logic 5465 chipset. SaX has that chipset in its database, and I have it set up correctly (let's presume I do). Problem: X locks up after a few minutes of operation, usually while painting a newly created window. I'm using the Generic SVGA server, 800x600x8 resolution.
I believe that Cirrus Logic chips uses the svga server. If I where you, I'd double check with the supported videocards, see exactly which Xserver that card needs, and go with that xserver if it exists.
SaX says SVGA.
If not, I would try to use a compatible chipset (ie the closest cirrus logic server) and run with it's Xserver.
Before running SaX or XF86Setup or XF86config, Make sure that your Xserver is installed.
