Hi all
Thanks for the quick response from various people. I had a problem getting an SiS6326 vga card to work. Various solutions where suggested which unfortunately didn't seem to work with my installation. I couldn't seem to get more than 16 colours :-(
Anyway I trashed the Sis and got hold of a S3 Virge, installed the card and everything was fine, except I still couldn't get more than 16 colours. While messing around in YAST I accidentally discovered that the SVGA server isn't installed by default, when installed I suddenly had access to 256+ colours and SVGA server.
Anyway my point is I only came accros this by accident, the manual doesn't (or I couldn't find it) make reference to installing additional servers.
Please don't flame me for this but any other newbies having basic problems like mine, play with YAST and the solutions probably hidden in there somewhere.
Anyway time to try and get a mail client to work with Suse and give Bill G the elbow.
Thanks again and kind regards
