X11 xorg.conf issue

darkstar01 · 02-20-2009, 11:45 PM

Hi. I'm relatively new to openSuSe and for some odd reason my on board VGA isn't recognized by openSuSe but is by Gobuntu 8.10.

I'm curious as to how to get my X11 up and running again. I've already installed lynx so I can read simple websites, but I need a full GUI for IDE programming work for university. I'll post my lspci results as soon as I get a free moment.

Thanks in advance

actually, its better to post your xorg.conf.

*
'lspci | grep VGA' and 'cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf' will be fine.

and my lspci

Code:

VGA: VIA Technologies, Inc. S3 Unichrome Pro VGA Adapter

Hope this will give some insight.

eh, just under Device change "via" to "vesa". That should get you X11.

Just sudo nano xorg.conf (/etc/X11) or run it as root (su)

change that, hit ctrl+o, ctrl+x, reboot. You may have to startx when you login.
