I had similar problems with SAX2 and SuSE 7.0. I have a "problematic" video chip, a SiS 6326, so I was waiting for XFree86 4.0 to get full support. Well that requires SAX2 for setup. I didn't get a full screen image, nor did I get a cursor (although it recognized my mouse). Actually, the cursor was a large white square and I learned that I could actually position it over fields and click them. I even set the resolution down to 600 x 480. The same video card + monitor works OK @ 1280 x 1024 under another OS that I want to get rid of ;-) . To "fix" things I went into SAX2's "expert" mode -- trying to do things like set SWCursor. It seems that EVEN GOING INTO EXPERT MODE (i.e., without making changes) causes things to crash. After going into expert mode X crashed with error messages saying that lots of file paths to font files were invalid -- and I hadn't even touched the file paths!! Well, I wrote all this up and sent it into SuSE support a week ago. I had expected to hear back by now. Maybe I'll get some answers, in which case I'll post them back here. Peter Hollings
It crashed for me too. I haven't solved it yet but I take my time. Graphics processor is Rage Pro (ATI).

Anyone out there had trouble fine tuning the settings of sax2 on a 7.0 system?? I have a Dell Optiplex with the Intel i810 integrated graphics chipset and sax2 preset the x-session to 1280x1024 (on a 17" monitor). I was impressed that it could do that but it was a bit too small. I tried to use the sax2 interface but it kept locking up on me and I had to telnet in and reboot. I tried it within the x-session as well as in command line mode. I ended up reloading the old sax instead and using the old (inferior I'm sure) drivers. I am just curious. Doug
