Before running 'sax2 -l' or 'sax2 -r' has 'lspci' been tried?... just to see what the heck, if anything, shows up on the pci bus?
No, have not tried lspci. Where do I enter that? At the bootloader after I enter "3"? Please be **specific** with your explanation, and tell me what I'm looking for as a response. lspci would be entered after the system boots up prior to running any sax2 commands. Then doing the 'sax2 -p' would show us what sax2 can see on the PCI bus.
Also 'sax2 -p' ... instruct SaX2 to display the results of the AGP/PCI probe? I realize it may already be doing this, given the error message, but... just in case... it might be worth asking for the details.
Have not tried that. Do I do it in regular SuSE start up or do I do it in Failsafe mode?
After the system boots up at the root prompt. After booting each of our test scenarios you could do 1) 'lspci' to see if the video card is seen, then 2) 'sax2 -p' to see if sax2 can see the card, then 3) 'sax2 -l' to see if sax2 can configure it. Stan
