Very Computer

I have purchased SuSE Linux 5.3 and have installed the software with little
problems. Unfortunately, I am having problems getting X configured.

When I use SAX (the suggested method) it does not recognise my video card.
When I use XF86Setup, I get an error when I choose the Graphics Blaster
Extreeme option.

I have tried various options, but at best I am not offered any graphics
modes to work in, or the selected card gets rejected. At worst when X is run
the monitor switches itself off, probably out of self preservation.

Can anyone offer any advice. I would so love to get this working?

Thanks

Not - the only way is to use xf86config script. It's in the docs - as
is instruction not to use probing of clocks. Do it from command line,
always!!

Mine worked out of the box first time. SuSE 5.3
