Thanks for all your help, problemS sorted. Bruce. ---
Hi there, I am new to this mail list so please forgive me if my questions are reruns!!
I am installing SuSE6.4 on an Apple PowerMac G3 500 with no end of problems with respect to X windows!!!
iSax gives a segmentation fault.
sax accepts Video Memory values (8Mb) but ignores them.
xsfbswitch returns error values for every possible entry and doen't allow fine > tuned frequencies to be specfied for any resolution 640x... up to 1024x... (as per the book p159-160 - yes I've tried to Read the FINE manual!!)
So far the only way I have found to configure Xwindows is to zap the entire system, reload, configure it once and don't touch. BUT as soon as the runlevel > is set to 3, the colour depth reverts to 256 and is not able to be changed EVER again!!!
Are there any other tools for configuring XWindows.
xfine is not applicable and modegen doesn't work.
There isn't XF86Setup anywhere for this system is there...
Regards, Bruce.

Perhaps it could be useful for others if you described how! Bruce wrote:
