I had a voodoo 5500 card in my system, I just brought home a Radeon 7000 video card last night and dropped it in.

My XP works great but when I try to boot into Suse it dies.

How do I go about loading the video card for it? I installed Suse over the net so I don't have the CD's

Hmmm, I wonder if I can start the install and choose repair or something?

what are the errors your getting. Is it crashing to the point of reboot. are you back in a cosole if so what are the errors.

check /var/log lookf for your log file for ither xorg or Xfree86

im thinking you need to change the xorg.conf or Xfree86.conf file but i wouldent know what to suggest without a error tho.

I had to go back in and fire up SuSe so I can get this error for you. This is what it says.

“Boot up error
Failed to start X server (Your graphical interface)
It is likely that it is not set up correctly
Would you like to view the X server output to diagnose the problem

YES NO

I can then go through this and get to the point where I can log into using a command line.

I just don't know where to go to fix the problem.
Thanks

Since you can login to Suse, you should be able to run suse program(sax?) to reconfigure x-system. Alternatively, if you have Knoppix live-cd, you can run it and copy its /etc/X11/xorg.conf to your Suse system; or just edit Suse /etc/X11/xorg.conf with those settings. Your Suse is trying to use old xorg file(from before video-card change) so it fails. Good luck.

When I log into root and at the command prompt do I just type in sax and hit enter?

Since I don't think I really had anything too important on it I decided to just re-install Suse 10. It seems to be working just fine now.
I also wanted to start learning or shall I say LAMP, I have the install and configuration paperwork in front of me so I'll tackle that now.

Thanks for all the help.
