I have just installed the DVD demo version of SuSE 10.0 on my computer.
Although the
installation completed without problem or complaint, any attempt to use
X windows
(startx, xinit, YAST/YAST2 video card setup) causes my computer to
reboot (as root or a user). The log files in /var/log don't give a clue
other than that they end right after mouse setup.
The X config file seems Ok, but I havn't looked at it in great detail. I
am using an ASUSP5RD1-VM motherboard which has the ATI Radon Xpress 200
for video. The motherboard CD does contain several Linux ATI drivers
which (since installation didn't
complain) I never installed. Even without the correct driver, shouldn't
X fallback on a default similiar to what is used during installation?
Tomorrow I plan to determin the correct driver and install it and see if
that improves things.
BTW, when I reconfigured my old SuSE 9.0 for the new motherboard, it
worked OK at
least as far a being able to initiate a KDE session under X.
