Description Michael Edwardes 2008-06-02 21:05:15 UTC
Installation from dvd fails to start run level 5 due to invalid xorg.conf.

Reconfiguring the server using X -configure generates correct xorg.conf using the nv driver.

Once X is up and running yast2 the graphics card (module?) fails to start.  (and the command line version).

The original xorg.conf has been overwritten but i can regenerate if given instructions on how.

Comment 1 Stefan Dirsch 2008-06-02 21:35:15 UTC
Are this two graphics cards or one graphics card with two GPUs on it?
Comment 2 Michael Edwardes 2008-06-02 21:40:01 UTC
This is one (big!) card with two gpus.

I have run sax2 manually with no arguments and it seems to be a coding issue:
