Thanks to all who have responded to my cries and pleas for help.

I have succeeded in getting the board resolution to 1600x1200. Please don't ask - it was fumbling and bumbling all of the way. It would have been impossible without the generous help that was forthcoming.

I've attached the XF86Config-4 file that works to this message.

The problem is half solved. Now I have to get the OpenGL drivers to work. I downloaded the correct NVidia tar balls for SuSE 7.1 and installed them. There were no error or warning messages and the boot process loaded the NVIDIA kernel module version 1.0-1251 (the correct one). But, why must there always be a but....' when I add 'Load "gx"' and "nvidia" to the appropriate sections of the XF86Configure file once again XWindows bombs.

I'm starting to be fearful for what little hair I have left, I'm afraid that I'm going to start tearing it out. Ah well, tomorrow is another day.

config file which is used rather then the older xf86config.

After those early posts we were discussing it off list and it became apparent that Suse must use the file called XF86Config that was in his X directory when using xfree4. So I told him to copy THAT file into /etc/X11 as XF86Config-4 so that it would at least work in the default xfree way. Still dont know what the end result is though...
