Installation of SuSE 10.0 on my new HP Pavilian xv6000 went incredibly well, the easiest laptop install I've ever done. I'm left with one problem. The widescreen 1280x800 works great while the window managers are running, but X won't exit properly. Regardless of whether I exit to gdm or console, the screen turns into a gray color, sometimes tinted with various colors, plus some horizontal and vertical lines. At this point the screen will not recover. Pressing <alt>F2 -F9 while X is running causes the screen to do the same thing. The problem occurs with KDE, GNOME, and FVWM2. Skipping all window managers, i.e., simply typing "/usr/bin/X11/X" at the command line in runlevel 3, then pulling the rug out with <crtl><alt><backspace> gives a normal exit to a good console. Is there something I can put in .xinit or somewhere that will fix this? -- He played the king as if afraid someone else would play the ace. -- John Mason Brown, drama critic

Also, on the sax2 dialog box is an "Options" button, which brings up several parameters, none of which I know anything about. Is there a resource for these definitions?

Nothing like posting repeatedly on the same topic. *sorry* Here's other news: Copying the generic xorg.conf.install over xorg.conf solves the problem. It's no solution, but at least I have a computer until I can dive into the file.
