Re: Suse 10.1 - Display server problem!!

I guess suse maybe using nv driver for your card.
For editing xorg.conf type this command after logging in as root

Code:

nano -w /etc/xorg.conf

Then you will find something like this

Quote:

Section "Device"
.
.
Driver "nv"
.
.
End Section

replace nv or whatever there is with vesa, if it's already vesa then use nv and try.
