Hi, everyone.
Was using 9.2. Just upgraded to 9.3 but problems.
I formatted the drive and did a clean install. At the same time I added a video card (previously was using the on-board chip). The video card is a GeForce FX5500 PCI card ,128 MB memory, by PNY technologies (please note, that's PCI, not PCI-e). The MB does not have an AGP slot so I had to get a PCI video card. <snip> SuSE recognizes the card, but it absolutely will not let me configure it (set resolution or number of colors) and it will not let me set my monitor to the correct brand and model.

To get back into X after configuring your video card.

Stan, thanks. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but nothing's happening. Here is the readout from the shell using your commands: gil@phred:~> su Password: phred:/home/gil # init 3 phred:/home/gil # sax2 SaX: initializing please wait... SaX: ups lost card during probing... abort phred:/home/gil # Nothing happens. I still can't get into a configuation screen to set the video card or monitor. Any other ideas? Or am I doing something wrong? Thx Gil
