SaX cannot configure any graphic cards with the nVidia TNT2 chipset

Applies to

SuSE Linux: Version 6.2

Subject

You want to configure a graphic card based on the Riva TNT2 Chip, by means of SaX. If you select, for example, an Elsa Erazor III or a Diamond Viper V770, an error mesage appears: Formatting error in the CDB, please report this, and the configuration cannot be continued.

Cause

There is unfortunately an error in the internal database used by SaX. This prevents graphic cards based on the TNT2 Chip by nVidia from being selected.

Solution

In the program SaX, select, for the graphic card, as Vendor !!! Generic Server Selection !!! and then under Type the item SVGA. The SVGA X server will then recognize this card automatically.

The card will not be restricted in later operation in any way because when the X server starts later it will automatically recognize and configure the card. All features supported by XFree86 for this grahpics card are supported by this X server as well.
