[SuSE Linux] SaX dies shortly after startup without error message
Hi, I'm trying to run SaX, It starts up saying "probing PCI bus", "using VGA16" server, X starts (the black & white hatched screen), then a black screen with the SuSE logo in the upper right hand corner appears, then I get dumped out back to the command line. No errors (just the "probe" and "vga16" messages), no SaX window. I'm running SuSE 5.3. I've tried both PCI and ISA based video cards. I've installed all X servers. I've been able to configure X sucessfully via XF86Setup, and still can't run SaX from the console command line nor X (same behavior from both). I'm guessing that something was not installed (or not installed correctly) that's needed by SaX. Is there a way to determine if all components needed for SaX were installed? Any idea how to debug this (or what may cause this problem)?

We have some dying too on network connections. I thought maybe the K6-2 could be the problem. But If I read this there is perhaps a kernel problem ??? Because when there is no activity some routines (pppd or network related stuff) dies. When you startup again it is all OK. -- ********************************************************* The Antwerp Linux User Group E-mail : fv.alug@advalvas.be URL : <A HREF="http://user.online.be/poe/alug.htm"><A HREF="http://user.online.be/poe/alug.htm</A">http://user.online.be/poe/alug.htm Meetings : ZIE PROGRAMMA OP DE WEBSITE !
