Yeahg , what realy bugs me , is that neather sax or XF86Setup woould load , and when I used xf86config , and got to the server list , one of the chioces was SVGA Server , and it never gave a clue that SVGA was not installed. Yast for some reaon deosent select/install it. I hope that suse will put something on the support page. Otherwisethey will probibly find a lot of unhapy users. Funy no oine in germany foun this , must be something to do with the US version. Also , all the listing for the Diamond card call for the SVGA Server , Funny how it installed the vga16 server. Anyway , bound to have a few hickups with .0 version , Suse has a Solid rep for ther distrs , I think they need some more fit and polish . I love the product , and hate to see Red Hat take the lim light. Yast is the jewal in the box . I am glad to know tha tI am not freaking out here. At 11:48 AM 2/10/1999 -0500, Spamoff wrote:

I have Installed Suse 6.0
I tried to run Sax , but this failed to load , I got as far a blank black screen. Use xf86 config and set it up for the diamond A50 card w 8 meg , sis 6326 chipset and xf86-svga server.
on runing stsrtx I get the following
"the file xf86-xxxx (binarie of xserver) doesent seem to be a binarie file. Pleas check it and /or install a new xserver binary"
Any Idea what is wrong ??
Thanks

Hello Samy...funny or what...I just went through all that the past 2 days :)
I did a full install of everything.
When I went back and checked, I found the SVGA wasn't installed and in yast it wasn't selected bizarre. I thought everything was, well everything.
Still didn't work, came up with a 64K video card until I downloaded and upgraded to 3.3.3.1.
Took some time and I added SW_Cursor and NoBLTZ (?) and now it works like a champ :)
