Hello, I am trying to configure XFree86 with SuSE Linux 7.3 Professional (XF86 updated to version 4.2). When I try to start XF86cfg, the screen turns black, and the system speaker starts beeping (sometimes only one time, sometimes till I restart the computer). The only way to get it working again is to reset the computer. When I try to start the SuSE-tool SaX2, my card (tried a Voodoo5 5500 and an ATI XpertWork), the graphical configuration sreen is displayed half a second, then - with my Voodoo card - a green D is flashing on the screen (in text mode again), with my ATI card, the screen gets black. In some forums I found the suggestion to change the entry "append=enableapic vga=0x0317" to "append=noapic vga=0x0317" or "append=disableapic vga=0x0317", but it didn't work. I could not find a log file for XFree86 in /var/log. The SaX.log file contains the following: =========================================================== SaX2 log: SaX2 version 4.3 - CVS Release: 1.25 2001/07/23 ----------------------------------------------------------- SaX2 CVS build number: 12846 ------------------------ SaX2 caller parameter: ------------------------ no parameter(s) given ------------------------ SaX2 framebuffer info: ------------------------ open /dev/fb0: No such device ----------------------------------------------------------- SaX2 compiled for: [SuSE Linux 7.3 (i386)] ----------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------- Sysp: Mouse detection data... ----------------------------- Mouse0 => Protocol : ps/2 Mouse0 => Device : /dev/mouse Mouse0 => Buttons : -1 Mouse0 => Wheel : 0 Mouse0 => Emulate : 1 ----------------------------- Sysp: Keyboard detection data... ----------------------------- Keyboard0 => XkbVariant : nodeadkeys Keyboard0 => XkbLayout : de Keyboard0 => XkbModel : pc104 Keyboard0 => Protocol : Standard Keyboard0 => MapName : Standard Keyboard [ pc104 ] Does anybody know how to get the graphics working, what could be wrong or where I can find some information (for newbies)?
