Hello Group,
Had my old motherboard SIS chip set go down last week. The motherboard died and took my Athlon 2400 XP with it.
Now I have an ASUS motherboard with on board VIA*Delta Chrome graphics. SuSE 10.2 uses VESA which is only 1024 and 16 colours. After around 10 mins the screen becomes unreadable and scrambled which requires a reboot to get it back.
I have tried to use the Linux drivers that came with the motherboard but this requires XFree86-libs which is also supposed to be on the driver disk but is not. I have searched around and found a few XFree86 rpms but none work and now the screen will not come back to me even after a reboot.
Can anyone shed any light on this ? Will ASUS be supported in future releases of SuSE my favorite OS ?
Best wishes,
Clive. From my experience, it is not really Asus to be blamed (ok, I know, this is an unpopular statement) but it is your onboard VIA Delta Chrome stuff. Okay, lastly it might be your lousy day since you bought such a board. ;-))
My advice: Change that and buy a graphics adapter from Nvidia (well ATI is working, as well). Even if you use the cheapest GPU, that money can buy you, you will get WAY MORE performance and you can forget about your trouble. just my 0.2 cents Eberhard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
