During the install of OpenSuSE 11.0, the monitor was not found during the HW configuration. The graphics card was seen and configured, as was the sound card.

After install 'completed' I logged into the machine as root and executed 'sax2 -a' from the prompt. Sax2 started to execute but then failed with a long listing where the program failed and I was returned to the command prompt.

My machine has two graphics cards, one on the motherboard and the second, ATI Radeon 8500. The monitor is a ViewSonic E70f.

To configure the monitor, I issues the command 'sax2 -c 1' which found correctly the the monitor and allowed me to configure my display.

After issuing, init 5, I then had the graphics login, and a KDE 4 environment I can use.

I have attached /var/log/Sax.log and /var/log/Xorg.99.log as well as the output of 'hwinfo --gfxcard' executed at 'init 3'
Comment 1 Stefan Dirsch 2008-07-27 19:50:13 UTC
What's the output of 'hwinfo --gfxcard'. Please do the following.

  init 3
  sax2

and attach /var/log/SaX.log (again).

/var/log/SaX.log
Comment 3 Stefan Dirsch 2008-07-27 21:31:13 UTC
For whatever reason SaX.log is truncated again. :-( Marcus, I don't understand this. Peter, please add at least the output of 'hwinfo --monitor'.

Comment 7 Stefan Dirsch 2008-07-29 22:30:22 UTC
Ah. I understand. The monitor is not the issue here. The SaX2 segfault due to dualcard setup is. This is another duplicate.

'sax2 -r -c 0' or 'sax2 -r -c 1' should work for you. Depends on which one is the primary graphics card.
