SuSE 8.0 and ATI AIW Radeon 8500DV
I tried installing SuSE 8.0 today, but the installation totally freaks at graphic card probe. The whole installation hangs completely and after a hard reboot, the system boots in a relatively normal manner, with a fvwm-lookalike login-screen in KDE, and with screen resolution set to 640x480, unchangeable. Whenever trying to change it using YaST2, the system hangs. Trying to logout from KDE results in a complete hang. Booting Linux using "safe mode" lets me get into console, but when running sax2, everything hangs. Tried updating sax2 according to the support info at suse.com, this didn't make a difference - still hangs completely. System: Intel Pentium4 2Ghz 512MB PC2700 DDR RAM 64MB Hercules All-In-Wonder Radeon 8500DV LAN/ISDN/Audigy/Tekram SCSI. The system is completely stable in all configurations so far, so I pretty much exclude hardware problems. Any ideas? Realf
