** Reply to message from Ken Schneider <suse-list@bout-tyme.net> on Mon, 15 Aug 2005 08:21:23 -0400 My apologies for not being much clearer, Ken. I did the right thing. Please see below. :o) Gil (snip)
OK. First, I did run Sax2 with the on-board chip enabled in the BIOS and the new video card out of the pooter. Sax2 ran fine. I could configure the on-board chip (resolution, colors) and could set my monitor by model. All went well.
I then switched the BIOS to "PCI" and inserted the video card and did a clean install so that the PCI video card was recognized.
After doing the on-line update I then went back and restarted the pooter and booted into "FailSafe" mode (which I understands drops me to run level 3). I then logged in (as user)
sax2 needs to be run as root -not- user.
Here is where I was not clear, sorry. The first time I went in under Fail Safe mode I logged in as user, then when I entered sax2 -r and sax2 -l it asked for the root password. I entered that and then got the error messages as in previous attempts. More below.
and did the sax2 -l but sax2 did not run. Instead I got the same error message as before: "ups lost card during probe...abort"
I then tried sax2 -r but got the same result. Sax2 did not run and the same error message popped up again.
Only thing I did not try was logging in as root and trying the above. Since Carl did not specify that in his instructions I assumed it was not necessary.
OK, then just to be certain that I had not misunderstood something incredibly obvious :o) I just restarted the computer and went into Fail Safe mode. This time I logged in as root rather than as user. I then tried both the sax2 -r and sax2 -l commands as root but got the same error message both times "ups lost card during probe .... abort." So I am tryng sax2 as root but without success. Sorry for the confusion that caused you to think I was trying to run sax2 without root priviledges. :o) Gil
