I have SuSE installed on my slave hard drive (/dev/hdb I have learned is the new term
)
After installation completed, was taken to Sax2 to configure system. I have a video card and monitor that SuSE didn't know. Fun huh? It's a radeon 9800 pro, and NEC Multisync 1760v TFT monitor.
I can deal with no 3d support etc for now. What I want is to be able to at least run KDE / X-windows, as I can navigate through the GUI and do what I need to, as opposed from everything from the command line.
Here is what happened:
1. Monitor -- not detected; I tried to set it up both as a VESA and LCD with the appropriate screen size (native 1280 x 1024 at 60 Hz), plugging in the dimensions from the manual. I actually think this would work if not for....
2. Video card -- not recognized of course. I tried VESA generic one, when I tried to test it I got the following: /dev/fb0: no such device
No devices detected
I can load to a command prompt only, as 'failsafe' mode. I can run sax2 from this if logged in as root, but I can't find a configuration that would work to load the GUI desktop. I only get errors (error while parsing number is the last line for example) when I try.
Any ideas? if there are none, I would ask how to remove grub from my MBR, as Linux clearly may not work for my system at all.
Thanks ahead of time.
