Hello Samy...funny or what...I just went through all that the past 2 days :) I did a full install of everything. When I went back and checked, I found the SVGA wasn't installed and in yast it wasn't selected bizarre. I thought everything was, well everything. Still didn't work, came up with a 64K video card until I downloaded and upgraded to 3.3.3.1. Took some time and I added SW_Cursor and NoBLTZ (?) and now it works like a champ :) - 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>>
Yeahg , what realy bugs me , is that neather sax or XF86Setup woould load , and when I used xf86config , and got to the server list , one of the chioces was SVGA Server , and it never gave a clue that SVGA was not installed. Yast for some reaon deosent select/install it. I hope that suse will put something on the support page. Otherwisethey will probibly find a lot of unhapy users. Funy no oine in germany foun this , must be something to do with the US version. Also , all the listing for the Diamond card call for the SVGA Server , Funny how it installed the vga16 server. Anyway , bound to have a few hickups with .0 version , Suse has a Solid rep for ther distrs , I think they need some more fit and polish . I love the product , and hate to see Red Hat take the lim light. Yast is the jewal in the box . I am glad to know tha tI am not freaking out here. At 11:48 AM 2/10/1999 -0500, Spamoff wrote:
