Hello all I'have just installed SuSE 7.1 French version it was available at SuSE boutique France on march 12 I ordered it by post on the 15th and got it on the 19th. pretty fast for the French post ! I had no difficulty to install : yast2 did a very good job except for the sound but Alsa never worked for me so it was not a surprise. I'll have to see to that later Sax2 froze my system and I had to reboot but I could do what I liked with sax1. I thank all the people on this list who were lucky enough to have their SuSE 7.1 before me but experienced many difficulties and proposed solutions which were a great help : installing Wp8, for instance was easy for me. My questions are 1) Why doesn't sax2 work on my machine (AMD K6 2 350Mhz - 96M RAM - S3 virge video card) is it too old ? 2) I like to have a large virtual desktop with kde, but I read in the manual that it is not recommended. What are the reasons ? is it dangerous for the video ? -- ============================================================================== Paul Ollion. ==============================================================================

Check the XFree86 site to find information on your graphics card. Some older S3 cards aren't supported by XFee86 4.0 (which Sax2 sets up) Jethro

Hi people! I had similar problem with mine ancient machine <P200mmx,64MB RAM,S3 Virge >.I thougt it was my sh..ty monitor but than running sax2 from X is probably not a good idea.After logging out from X and going to console there were no problems with sax2 configuring/using XFree86 4.0 has a dedicated driver for S3 Virge. See ya Alan.
