Hi, I'm installing SuSE 6.3 on a brand new HP Vectra VL with a Matrox G200 (on board) graphics card. Initially I installed the FTP version of SuSE 6.3 and everything worked as I expected. Since the FTP version differs from the CD version I have, I decided to reinstall fresh from CD. I encounter problems when I try to configure the X server (XF86_SVGA). When I try to use a resolution of 1280x1024 the machine locks. On a remote terminal I can see that the X server is taking more than 90% of the CPU resources. The monitor displays a "No Signal" message and I'm forced to reboot the machine. The problem persists after updating to the latest SuSE patches. There is no mention of this problem in the SuSE support database. Any help would be appreciated. -- Rafael Herrera Laboratory for Computational Neuroscience University of Pittsburgh http://www.neuronet.pitt.edu/~raffo -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

Just curious what you used to configure it? I don't have a G200, I have a G100, but SAX always screws it up. I have set it up for 3 different versions of SuSE now and still have to do it the old way with xf86config to get it right. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Darren R.

In my first install (FTP) I used SAX with no problems. On the second (CD) I've used SAX and xf86config. It seems OK if I try lower resolutions, like 800x600, but that is not acceptable, we need 1280x1024 or more. I'm reinstalling again from FTP, that worked before.
