Hello to you all,
I'll start out by saying that I'm a complete, total newbie. I decided to give Linux a try because I happen to run windows98 and it crashes and/or freezes regularly, which can be quite annoying. Anyway, I installed the necessary packages yesterday and invoked SaX to configure the X Window System. Everything went fine untill I got to the 'Desktop' menu. There were no resolutions to choose from whatsoever - the list was completely empty. I have an Iiyama Vision Master Pro400 (17") and a Matrox Millenium card. I did notice that in the manual they mention PCI and ISA cards but not AGP. My card happens to be an AGP. Does SaX offer AGP or should I use xf86config? Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated. Please remember that I'm new at this (an understatement!), so don't get too complicated!
I just got my SiS6326 AGP card working under SuSe. I had to upgrade to the new XFree86.3.3.3.3 that is available on the suse ftp site. You need to get at least the shared rpm, the XF86 rpm, the vga16 rpm, and the svga rpm, also the newest sax rpm. I had to use the force command to install a few of them, rpm -U --force your.rpm Then run sax. My card needed the sw_cursor, and no_bit_blt options set in sax. Otherwise the cursor is a big square, and the fonts are missing, i.e. no printed information. I downloaded : ax-1_2-11_i386.rpm xextra-3_3_3-3_i386.rpm xf86-3_3_3-3_i386.rpm xfnt100-3_3_3-3_i386.rpm xfntbig-3_3_3-3_i386.rpm xfntscl-3_3_3-3_i386.rpm xfsetup-3_3_3-3_i386.rpm xlist xman-3_3_3-3_i386.rpm xpm-3_4j-16_i386.rpm xshared-3_3_3-3_i386.rpm xsvga-3_3_3-3_i386.rpm xvga16-3_3_3-3_i386.rpm xxprt-3_3_3-3_i386.rpm just to be safe, and it works.
