The Mandriva script works OK on a machine loaded with MDV 2007, but not on the same machine loaded with Suse 10.1 Xorg on both Os's is version 6.9 [./..] ================ Rich, I'm not going to assume anything, so if some of this seems to be a repeat, just skip to the next thing.
First of all, to set your graphics, you should be out of graphics for the better results. Secondly, although I see that your card is PCIe, I'm going to get you to try something. Follow these steps: ctrl-alt-F1 login as root init 3 sax2 -r -m 0=radeonold (if all goes well, you should be in sax2 setting up your graphics and if not well, you're back to where you started) If it sets up for you, test the chosen screen, save (make small adjustments with the monitor controls) Finish Sax2 to go back to the terminal screen init 5 (this takes you back to X & whatever gui you were using) Using the radeonold module will sometimes help cranky cards. If you have done your setup another way, you might try the radeon module with this method to see if it sets up better, but if this was your method before, then try the radeonold. I'm suspecting this is what is happening in Mandrake with the ati module, which would probably be the old one too. regards, Lee
