Configuration of the S.u.S.E.-X-Server
Applies to
SuSE Linux: Versions since 5.1
XFree86: Versions since 3.3.1
Project:
You plan to use one of the new S.u.S.E.-X Servers:
- XSuSE_Elsa_GLoria (ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/special/xglint.tgz download!)
- XSuSE_AT3D (ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/special/xat3d.tgz download!)
- XSuSE_Matrox (ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/special/xmatrox.tgz download!)
- XSuSE_Mach64 (ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/special/xsusem64.tgz download!)
- XSuSE_NVidia (ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/special/xnvidia.tgz download!)
- XSuSE_Trident (ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/special/xtrident.tgz
download!)
- XSuSE_Tseng (ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/special/xtseng.tgz
download!)
How to proceed:
-
Use YaST for installing the corresponding packages. Alternatively you may
download the packages from our FTP site (see above).
You may install these packages with YaST (menu
"Install
packages"
).
-
If you got the packages from the FTP site you will need a modified version of
xf86config. You may get this packages from our FTP site as well. Just
download the package
Paket
xsuseconfig.tgz.
Since S.u.S.E. Linux 5.1 these configuration tools are already included.
-
Now please invoke
xf86config
either from the command line or from
within YaST. Here you may enter your complete configuration. Make sure
to select the correct X Server. Otherwise you won't be able to start.
- Now launche the X server by entering
startx
.
Note: (2.12.1997):
Please note that you may NOT install theses S.u.S.E. X Severs with
XF86Setup. This program needs to be adapted to the new servers.
Be aware that the S.u.S.E. X Server are handled and configured as SVGA server
in /etc/XF86Config
. The great exception to the rule is the
XSuSE_Elsa_Gloria server which is configured as "Accel" server.
You may not be able to use the xvidtune
tool for tuning your
XSuSE_Elsa_GLoria server.
If you are suspicious and think that the S.u.S.E. X server does not operate
properly please get the latest release from our FTP site. If the error still
occurs you may contact the S.u.S.E. support team.
The packages are updated frequently.
