LCD with SUSE Linux 9.2 Professional
Hi, I have been trying to bring up X11 on my Laptop (Compaq 1525US) with: Graphics card: ATI Radeon 7500 (LW) Flat Panel : 1400x1050 (Hannstar HSD150PK12-A from Yast) SaX2 cannot run, as it requires graphics (I just get a messed up screen). I have tried specifying -l, but that doesn't wrrk either. I have spent a lot of time trying different parameters in /etc/X11/XF86Config, but to no avail. Has anyone with this type of hardware got the graphics to work? Thanks, Ron

I have the same graphics card, different lcd on my compaq presario 2800 and it works with some adjustment after installation. You can run sax2 from init 3 - you do not need x to get it to run. I got my lcd to work by selecting a generic lcd with the correct resolution and not specifying the brand. If you still have problems getting it right you could select a VESA driver in sax2, get a working setup save your config file and then play with different sax2 settings until you get it right. I'm far from an expert, but I hope this helps. Gustav Degreef.

Ron, If you have the 9.2 Administration Guide, take a look on page 258. I've gotten two of my nvidia cards working with these instructions. Hope this helps even a little, -- Lee Ross Anchorage, Alaska

I've had some luck playing with the flags on sax2, specifically `-a' and `-l'. I use the former to get a "base" xorg.conf file, which I can modify by hand. As a last resort, don't forget about good ol' xf86config, which doesn't need any GUI to setup X. dk

I have used 'xorgconfig' which is text-based. HTH. -- ..."Yogi" CH Namast� Yoga Studio
