How shall I configure my SuSe 6.0 Linux for my computer? I can't get X up
and running.

450 MHz Intel Pentium II

Read the hints at

if you have 1024x768 nominal resolution.

Hi,

I have a MiTac MiNote 6020 with an ATI Rage LT Pro graphics chip (8MB,
14.1", 1024x768).

My first attempt was to (using only S.u.S.E. supplied code) compile a
new kernel and set up a frame buffer device (XF86_FBDev). This was, for
me, a bad idea. It seemed straight forward, but . I missed something.

What finally worked were a standard kernel, the patched XF86_Mach64
server (from the links above) and the XF86Config file that is attached
to this mail. It was built using SAX (on an external CRT display). I
replaced the XF86_Mach64 server by renaming the original
(XF86_Mach64.original) and letting the patched version take it's place.

You must not compile in the ATI Mach framebuffer support of the
Kernel 2.2 but rather use the VESA framebuffer support.
If I did the first on my Compaq Pres. 1675 the kernel locked
up at boot time, but the VESA support did the trick for
me together with the standard XFree86 3.3.3.1 server.
Thus I wonder if you had fallen into the same trap as I did.

Greets,
Mathias
