Problems with X with Intel graphic controler 82865 G (Chip i830) after update from 8.0 to 9.1
Hello list, I can't start X after an update from SuSE professional 8.0 to SuSE professional 9.1, and I believe the problems arise, because I've installed an the XFree86 Version 4.3.99.902 (4.4.0 RC 2) on my former SuSE release. The reason for installing XFree86 Version 4.3.99.902 where problems with Intel graphic controler 82865 G (Chip i830). After an BIOS update, I've solved these problems, but after my update to 9.1, I cannot start X, even not in a low resolution :-( Before looking for errors reason, I like ot have a clear system environment. Therefore I like to deinstall XFree86 Version 4.3.99.902, and ot install the X-utilities from the SuSE 9.1 distribution. My question now is: what must I do to deinstall XFree86 Version 4.3.99.902 completely; that means: which directories must be removed (including fonts), how can I update the SuSE package description? A presentation of my logfiles in this email is not possible; attachments (I've tried an cong.tgz) will be removed from the emails to this list, and putting the XF86Config and the X-Logfile directly to the body makes the email to large to be put to the list. So if anyone likes to have these files, please send me an email to my address directly (can be seen with "reply to all" ), and you'll get these documents from me to your home address... Thanks in advance! Alexander

Use the package manager (rpm best via YaST) to deinstall all X related packages. If and only if you have done that, remove configuration files from /etc/X11 that where not deinstalled. Instead of removing packages you may simply reinstall them. After that have a look at new and old configuration files at /etc/X11. You may also generate new /etc/X11/XF86Config running xf86config or SaX2. Gruß Markus
