XFree3.x/SuSE7.0 video settings no longer work, please help.
In 7.0 I used sax and xfree3.x to get windowmanager to run, but now in 8.1 I can no longer get it to work. I have tried different settings during installation but none worked. Then I tried to manually adjust the /etc/X11/XF86Config file manually, but that didn't work either. Then I tried xf86config, and still, nothing. When the X display comes up, it is there, but all screwy and I can't see anything on the screen. I know my settings from 7.0, but it won't take them. Please help. Video: Trident 2MB TGUI 9440 Monitor: IBM/Samsung PS/1 33G4577 (14" VGA) Horizontal Refresh: 31.5 Vertical Refresh: 50-60 (yeah, i know they are old...but I rarely login once it's up and running) I have tried 640x480 at 8-bit, and 16-bit. It installed completely with Yast2 installation screens, so it should work, maybe if anyone knows the Yast2 settings during installation I could use them? During install in 7.0 I had chosen LCD 800x600@60Hz to get it to work, but this won't do it anymore. I remember I had the same problems with 7.0 when I tried to use XFree4.x (which is why I had used 3.x). I thought that XFree4.x had a bug, as it was an immature version, still. Is my only option to downgrade to XFree 3.x? Thats seems ridiculous. Any advise? Thanks, Jeric -- JericAtSbcglobalDotNetwork 11:25pm up 12 days, 15:14, 7 users, load average: 0.08, 0.04, 0.05
