The strangest thing is that the ATI setup package has left my monitor in
a state where it just displays trashy colored lines. The display works
fine through the install process. The first couple times I installed
SuSE 10.1, the monitor worked fine; just in the wrong mode
(non-widescreen). Now I can't get finish the install without it going
into that trashy line mode.
I assume you are trying to install 10.1
Yes, I neglected to mention that.
It took me a *week* to get 10.1 to use my ATI card and I almost gave up on
10.1 because of it.
I'm almost there myself.
I finally:
1) I finally downloaded the ATI binary driver.
2) Used the xorg.conf from the install to at least have something that
would work while I tried to configure.
3) Ran sax2 which put the screen into a pretty unreadable mode.
4) Thru guess and trial-by-error I made some selections that finally set my
LCD up properly. (1600x1200 was what I needed but all I could get out of
the install was 1280x1024)
I did get it to work but I immediately switched cards to an NVidia and I
haven't looked back. Getting rid of all of my ATI cards.
I can't even get the binary driver to work. The best looking screen I
can get is totally black (except for a little window that says I should
be in the 1680 x 1050 mode that stays on the screen for a few minutes).
I see an nvidia in my near future.
Thanks,
Jim
