OK, but forgive my lack of knowledge. Where do I search? If I use Google what search terms will help me find this code for a 5500? I don't know how to structure a proper search.
Also, I can't see the list of device ID numbers in the Yast hardware list. I can't even see the list. Remember, I can't get into the configuration screens. SAX2 won't run.

If you look in /etc/X11/XF86Config, what driver is loaded (you'll see a line something like 'driver = nv' or 'driver = nvidia', if memory serves).
It says "nvidia."
So I then went into the SuSE menu and clicked on system/configuration/SAX2, but SAX2 doesn't open. Again, the pooter just sits there and stares at me.
From your later reply about running sax2 from runlevel 3, I'd say that you should check that the gfx card is seated properly. If it's not communicating properly (which is the only way I can interpret the msg you got) that suggests that it's either loose or defective. Can you try using the card in Windows either on the same PC or a different one? That should give more pointers if you can do so.
The card seems to be seated properly. It's certainly not loose in any case.
I do not have Windows on this computer. Don't have another computer I can use to test this card. ;o(

About a month ago at work I had problems configuring the graphics card -after- a YOU update to SAX2. I re-installed SAX2 from the DVD/CD and was then able configure the card again. YMMV. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989 SuSE since 1998 * Only reply to the list please*
