I installed SuSe 8.0 recently on my machine but it didint recognize the graphical chipset mentioned above.After messing with sax2 i finally manged to start the "X" but with devastating results it allows me only 8 bit color depth and no matter what i do it stays on 8 bit.I have tried all combinations with drivers available.If anyone knows the solution to the probelm,please help me owercome this problem.
P.S.-Do other distros have the same probelm recognizing the chipset mentioned above?
I am running Redhat 7.3 on an Asus L3 series Laptop with an 845 chipset, which works fine....
