I just gota say SaX is very nice. Its the new XFree86 manager that SuSE uses. Its less trouble than XF86Setup and thats a breeze itself. And does away with Xvideotune with its own tune which does a pretty good job. Way to go SuSE !
Hmmmm My experience so far has been the other way around, with XF86Setup always producing a working XF86config, where as SaX has failed on every machine I've tried it on. Luckily I kept copies of working XF86config files from Slackware installations. Maybe when SaX is more mature it may be better, but it didnt seem to have as larger database of cards as XF86Setup.
my experience with SAX is a little worse. Sure, it looks nice, is intuative, etc. But when it fails to make a working copy of my config file, all those nice things are a little useless ;-) 1 sax keeps complaining about no drivers for the Diamond sthealth video 2100 series. 2 when it scans my pci bus it in default picks a generic x server collection -- S3, but that one does not work (it cannot start the x-server). workaround: start sax, use the saved file, let it scan the pci-bus, select Diamond, select expert, xserver S3, let sax start the x server, save the config file and let it write /etc/XF86Config, exit SAX and YAST, startx. After every reboot i have to do the same config-blabla to get x working. anyone having ideas? grtz Bouke -- Well, it's September. All the new students getting their accounts.
