Thats a "server not installed error" ;-) meaning you diddnt insall it when you first selected the installion. *Start yast install new config (or something similiar) and look in the xservers then *install the server* and rerun xf86 and you should be all set rob Linux Home page <A HREF="http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/LBM.htm"><A HREF="http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/LBM.htm</A">http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/LBM.htm</A</A>> - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

Rob I reinstall all the xserver packages , and got the same error message. Sax hangs up on running it , I get a gray striped screen then it goes black and hangs up, XF86Setup Hangs as well , I get a gray cross hatch screen , then a cray backgroun then it just hans up. So I can only use xf3\86config. That gos well, Then when stating startx I get the error. The suse 6 comes with the 3.3.3 version. The only other thing I can think of is that It is an AGP Card. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

I installed the Sis 6326 under 5.3 with the latest XFree86 svga server. There were a couple of things that didn't work, but were remedied by server options sw_cursor and no_bitblt. But Sax worked. Maybe you should try to download the svga driver again. I hope this dosn't mean I will have trouble when my 6.0 arrives. Did you get your disks already, or did you get it via ftp? - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

Check, if /var/X11R6/bin/X exists and is a symbolic link to your X Server (in your case: /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA): "file /var/X11R6/bin/X" If XF86_SVGA is missing, install package "xsvga" and create the link manually, if necessary.

Lenz my Man , Your right on the money G: KF86_VGA16 was installed . Tried it and it works. Went back into yast installed XF-86SVGA and set it , and it worked. I dont know why the install did not install the SVGA server , and only the VGA16 drivers. Aslo , How do you change the resolution, I have a Virtual screen that moves around , how can I get it to use a highr resolution so that the screen uses the monitor space , and not more than the monitor space ?

Press CTRL+ALT+"Plus on numeric keypad" for higher resolutions, or have a look at /etc/XF86Config. Your "Screen"-Section seems to have several resolutions, the first one is the default. Here's what I have: SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1600x1200" "1280x960" Virtual 1600 1200 EndSubSection The "Modes" line defines the resolutions, see the manpage for XF86Config for further details.
