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:

How to proceed:

  1. 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").

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
  4. 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.
