on Tue, 09 Aug 2005 21:42:06 -0400 Hello again, everyone. More interesting news to report on my continuing search for better video resolution. :o) [...] I managed to put my hands on another PCI video card (emphasizing again, that's PCI, and not PCI-e). This one is a Genesis SV+ S3 Virge/DX. It is an older card but it is identified correctly by SuSE 9.3.
Howver, just as with the other PCI video card I cannot access a configuration screen for the video card or my monitor. I get the same error message as I have reported several times: <ups lost card during probing... abort>
And so it raises this question to the list: Is anyone out there successfully running **any** PCI video card (PCI, not PCI-e) with SuSE 9.2 or 9.3? ****************
Yes! [...]
I am really interested in finding out if anyone has had success with any PCI video card. Maybe this entire exercise has been doomed from the start? If so, at least we've all learned something! :o)
Thanks, everyone. Gil
Gil, Maybe it's the cards you are trying, maybe it's the motherboard, but I have a customer with a Voodoo3 PCI card working nicely at 1280x1024 on her LCD monitor. It worked in 9.2 and now in 9.3 without problems, so it's certainly not an incompatibility problem with SuSE. Are you disabling the onboard video in the BIOS of the motherboard? Are you specifying your video to be PCI, not AGP in the BIOS? regards, Lee -- --- KMail v1.8.2 --- SuSE Linux Pro v9.2 --- Registered Linux User #225206 There's no problem so awful that you can't add some guilt to it and make it even worse! ...Calvin & Hobbes
