configuration keeps failing with (from sax.log):-

The board is ATI X800 PCIE (pro) which wasn't recognised so I've forced the
ChipID, which allows it to be used.
Mother board is MSI K8N Neo4 with Nvidia nforce 4 chipset. I'm presently only
using 32-bit. I thought I'd get that working before trying 64-bit, and
haven't got that far.
Suse 9.2, X11 6.8.2, also tried 6.8.1-15.5, now on 6.8.1-15.1.
fglrx 8.12.10, before that 8.10.19,
all without any apparent change in symptoms.
I'm confused about agp and agpgart. I've tried both internal and external,
but am not sure about which external I should try. As it's Nvidia chipset,
should it be that? I can't see any mention of nforce 4, only nforce 2.
Can anyone help, please? I'm a newbie here.
Allan
