Hi !
I got suse linux 5.3 today and since it's the first time I use it, I don't know much about it. So now I have a problem. When I'm using sax to configure xwindow I can't use a specific server for my card, since it's matrox productiva g100 so I guess I have to use xsvga, and then I write in my monitors sync spec (which btw are 30-70 khz, 50-150 hz) and then enters the desktop page, where the real problem is. There are no screenmodes to choose. Not in any colors. How do I get some screenmodes to choose from ?
Use the xf86config utility, a command line utility which prompts you for various items. I suggest, run it a couple of times and save the file in some temp dir to get used to all the sections of the XF86Config file. This utility will pretty much give you a basic functional XF86Config file (with default mode lines). You can tweak it later. Plus, reading the man page (man XF86Config) and the README file for the specific server that supports your video card will also help you understand the various sections of the XF86Config files and any adjustments to be made to resolve problems specific with your video card.
