Anyway, I chose matrox framebuffer support for the G200 and vga16 framebuffer support. Could this have been the problem? I thought per the readme you need the vga support in case you remove your Matrox card.
For starters, I'd recommend that you install SuSE's APM kernel from the CD's. This will also place a .config file in your /usr/src/linux tree that can be used for your custom kernel. Go into /usr/src/linux and `make menuconfig' if you must, but don't play with APM *or* frame buffer settings. The SuSE kernel already has support for VESAFB (which has in my experience works well with G200s) and the APM hooks that you need for the kernel to play nicely with SuSE's APMD. If the documentation that you are reading tells you *specifically* to use the *Matrox* frame buffer for a *specific* purpose, that may be a different story. -- -=|JP|=- Jon Pennington | Atipa Linux Solutions -o) jpennington@atipa.com | Kansas City, MO /\\ 816-241-2641 x107 | http://www.atipa.com _\_V -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
