Hello Damon and friends, Perhaps I didn't explain so well. There is no problem at all to start sax. It runs perfect in a VGA color screen... then thew troubles come when I setup the xvga16 server and try to start up my xwindows. I belive sax is already using vga16 xserver when runs... so, at least vga16 should work for my old box. By the way, it has a built-in S3 Virgie VGA. On Thu, 28 June 2001, Damon Register wrote:

Hello susers. I tried to setup an old IBM 486 box to run Xserver with just VGA by means of Sax.
I just went through this headache
Althought I can start Sax (which I presume runs in a xvga16 server) I never reach to configure my server. Framebuffer doesn't work in this box. I think is too old... Perhaps you have the same problem I did. The SuSE manual says that older ISA graphics cards (which may include older motherboards with built in video) may require starting sax with the --servervga16 option Try that one.
