Zantera , are you using the sis card or the Diamond a50 ??

Sax and xf86setup both go as far as loading a black or gray screen then goes no further. xg86config works. but is a pain.

Well I got it working. The XF86config file I sent you awhile back works fine for me in 16bpp and 8bpp, but only in 1024x768. I also have to manually create the X link to point to the SVGA server. It is a widespread problem. Redhat acted exactly the same way. I guess the only server that works with the card is the SVGA server, but the VGA16 is needed by SAX or XF86Setup to configure it. It is a "catch22 situation". Luckily, the libc5 version of SAX did run under SuSE5.3, and let me create my working config. I guess the glibc version of the vga16 server dosn't work for either Suse or Redhat. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archive at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
