No need. I posted link to mail archive article that explains that PCI BusID is really 2:0:0 and 2:0:1 is used to satisfy some Win 2000 drivers. This is not a reason for problems. > Also as I said before, sax will run in yast, but not > in cli, runlevel 5 or 3. That was my problem with SaX2 and nvidia 6100 on board plus TwinView capable FX 5200. Using 10.2 xorg.conf made TwinView working. Otherwise it will have only one screen or Xorg server will hang after restart and lock computer. > Here are logs currently on the system: > > xorg.conf from 10.2 but after running yast>sax in 10.3 that I'm running now > http://pastebin.com/m24b230f > > xorg.conf from the 10.3 install that did not work > http://pastebin.com/m4a33cb60 > > sax.log after running yast>sax in 10.3 > http://pastebin.com/m40037ff1 > > Xorg.0.log > http://pastebin.com/m883c4cb > > Xorg.99.log > http://pastebin.com/m7325d2d0 > > I don't know if this is helpful or not, but the test install I did of > pclinuxos loaded this card with no problems and runs glxgears at about > 2200fps on this card (about 7 times faster than I'm getting in 10.3). > > pclox xorg.conf > http://pastebin.com/m7eb8eb8f It also usefull as it tells that monitor and card are not configured to specific model, but few basic features.

It seems pretty generic. The worst that can happen is that you have to find out hardware reset button on your computer (mostly keep pressed power longer than 4 seconds). I used as root in runlevel 3 command: X -configure which produced some generic xorg.conf.new saved in root home directory. After test with: X -config xorg.conf.new that gave X server generic screen without window manager (Ctrl-Alt-Backspace is the way to get out of that screen) I started GUI with: startx which gave me working GUI. In my case I had to add monitor sections, modes sections, and limit highest resolution in screen section, but that is due to exotic (read old) hardware I use, otherwise it will work with very simple xorg.conf right away. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
