PPC: X-Konfiguration Fails During Installation
Support knowledgebase (tsaupe_ppc_73_X11)
Applies to
SuSE Linux PowerPC: Version 7.3
XFree86: Versions since 4.0
Symptom
The automatic Xserver configuration with yast2 fails during installation.
In case of a 1024x768 color resolution the Xserver's manual configuration is
limited to an 8 bit colour depth.
Cause
The automatically calculated modelines for higher colour depth are beyond the
monitor's specifications.
Solution
First, select during the installation:
Text mode only - no graphical interface
and then complete the installation.
After the system reboots, log in as root and start sax2 with:
sax2 -af
Thus the file /etc/X11/XF86Config will be created.
Edit this file with your favourite editor and at
Section "Screen"
set the entry:
DefaultDepth
to your requested colour depth. The available colour depth can be found
under the Depth entries, SubSection "Display", e.g:
SubSection "Display"
Depth 15
