Get yast up in text mode and install kernel sources (and NVIDIA-kernel?) and try again. All that sax2 does in the end is to write /etc/X11/XF86config. If you still have this file from your - working - 8.1 install you could try using it. > failes,as it says it can't find the monitor, jd144l, from this I think > it's a JEAN, monitor as that has the jd prefix on the numbers, mine is > not listed, where it got the jd0090 (or whatever) from i don't know. I googled for this - without a great deal of luck - not exactly a common make. If you have an manual for the monitor it should give you the range of horizontal and vertical refresh rates the monitor can handle. These can be written into XF86Config using SAX or a text editor. <yorkshiremen sketch> Back in my day we didn't have nice tools like sax. XF86config was just about the first configuration file I learned to edit - and if you got it working before 3am - you were lucky :-) </yorkshiremen sketch> aother idea try sax2 -l (the l option starts sax in lowest resolution and disables probing) Tony -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
