Hi All,

I have an Asus V7100 GeForce 2 MX video card on my system. I have configured it to run on Red hat 7, without too much difficulty using the Nvida drivers and Xfree86 4.0.1

However, I just installed SuSe 7 to see if I like it better than Red Hat, but I can't get X to work with anything other than the standard VGA server. Sax and Sax2 fail with this video card as an unrecognized card.

I have tried the following without success:

1. install with YAST2
2. Full install, and install the latest version of XFree86 (4.0.2) over that
3. Full install, and installed the Nvidia drivers, modified XF86Config, as per the Nvidia instructions (same as I did for Red Hat)
4. Minimal install, without X, installed XFree86 4.0.2 from the command line and then installed KDE from YAST


I am out of ideas here...has anyone had any success installing SuSe with a GeForce 2MX card? Any ideas or help is appreciated, and thanks in advance
