Originally Michael James asked:
I can't get OpenSuSE 10.0 into X on a VIA EPIA CM266 chipset.
Running sax2 seems normal enough, it suggests 800x600@60Hz and I change that to 1024x768@75Hz (the monitor can do at least that).
But when I click on "Test", at best it doesn't work, usually it kills the system so dead it won't ping.
I know that the dreaded "powersaved" is death to EPIA systems, (if it ever tries to step the frequency) but I've got that turned off.

When you say you disabled the power saver, you have to be a bit more explicit when you say that.

I have a EPIA,, one of the older versions 933 mhz and it is currently running sus 10.0 with the gnome interface without any problem. It is a bit slow but it works fine.
This is the 1 Gig version (the first with dual ethernet).
I did the normal install and let the system pick everything up. After it loads the entire system up and reboots the system during the installation. The first thing I do is to login in under gnome as root. There I start up YAST. I go to system, run level editor. The first thing I do is disable acpid daemon. Reboot the system and everything comes up and runs.
acpid was running, I've insserv -r ed it out, (had to kill off haddaemon too). When I get home I'll try accepting 800x600@60Hz then rebooting and see if I can coax it that way.

Unless you pay nothing, then you get more.
