This is what I tried in addition, but it didn't help. :-(
Marcus? *** Bug 445320 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** you additionally need to patch XF86ConfigFile::CallXF86Loader from cfg.c (sysp code) *** Bug 461693 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Created attachment 263054 [details]

Thanks, Marcus. This new patch should fix the issue. I'm going to test it on monday.
Maybe someone else wants to test new SaX2 package before I can on monday. Packages will be available shortly via http://beta.suse.com/private/sndirsch/bug463288 Update: Packages are available now. Just tested. Works fine now. Submitted for openSUSE 11.2 and SLE11. I'm afraid an update for openSUSE 11.1 will be useless since package updates are probably done after X.Org configuration and the issue exists only during installation.

Useless to those who change video chips and must run sax2 or yast from tty[1-6] shell prompt to get X back? I tried running 'sax2 -br' and 'sax2 -br -a' on my D845GLVA, which locked up the machine (CAD worked) and failed to create xorg.conf. What is an ordinary 11.1 user with 845 supposed to do to get X working? "-br" is an Xserver option, not an option for SaX2! SaX2 starts an Xserver internally. I think we'll provide a SaX2 update for 11.1 once we're done with SLE11. *** Bug 467228 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** (In reply to comment #11) > (In reply to comment #10 from Stefan Dirsch) > > I'm afraid > > an update for openSUSE 11.1 will be useless since package updates are probably > > done after X.Org configuration and the issue exists only during installation. > > Useless to those who change video chips and must run sax2 or yast from tty[1-6] > shell prompt to get X back? I plan an sax2 update once SLE11 is done. This will fix installation for users, which disable automatic configuration (which unfortunately is the default) and do an online update during installation. I would like to provide a sax2 update for openSUSE 11.1. Anja, could you create a SWAMPID? patchinfo file created. Help me here. This bug is marked as Resolved, however, I just tried installing 11.1 on an HP system with an i845 chip and it hangs during the hardware setup. Did you not read comment 10 ? The fix came after the DVDs. You'll need to swap in a different video card to install with the GUI, or else do a textmode=1 installation. You can configure the video manually from runlevel 3 after installation is complete, or more easily after applying the updates. I had an existing 11.0 system which I was trying to upgrade to 11.1. The graphical install recognizes and works correctly with the hardware. I hangs on the the video hardware config after the reboot. I SSHed into the system and ran a text mode yast2 to apply any additional updates other than the ones applied during the install. I forced a reboot and then than ran Sax2 --ignoreprofile --reinit which hung in exactly the same fashion, so I am unclear how I am to configure the video manually. Created attachment 277546 [details] xorg.conf that works on Dell GX260 (i845G) (In reply to comment #21) > I am unclear how I am to configure the video manually. You could try using this. It's set to 1600x1200 & 120 DPI for a CRT. Using the config supplied by Felix I was able to get a session to start. Thanks Felix. However. 1) If I run the yast2 video card configuration, it still produces an invalid xorg.config file -- the AcellMethod and Screen lines are deleted. The Sax2 log ends with a division error. Starting the system with that xorg.config file causes a hang with vertical bars of color. 2) Upgrading sax2 to version 8.1-542.7.1 mentioned in this thread and using Filix's working config produces a system that hangs with a display of randon colored pixels. If I try to run sax2 or the yast2 hardward setup it hangs when I get to the configuration test. It does not produce an updated xorg.config. The sax log is attached. Downgrading back to version 8.1-542.7 of sax and I can again start X. In addition, if I switch to a text mode screen with an X session running and the X screen is refreshed while it is not being displayed, the system hangs with a blank screen as soon as I switch back to the X screen.

Since, sax2 from runlevel 3 locks up the machine. Did some update revert the fix for this? Is this fixable locally by adding -br in some script?
