Hello,
I comfortably installed Suse 10.1 on Intel S5000VSA motherboard with
the onboard ATI
ES1000 video chip.
http://www.intel.com/design/servers/boards/s5000VSA/index.htm
I used an Intel Xeon dual-core processor, a Kingston memory module and
a SATA Drive.
All worked well until it was time to add a 3ware raid card
(9590SE-12ML) to a PCI-e slot.
http://www.3ware.com/products/serial_ata2-9590.asp
With the 3ware card in the slot, Suse cannot load XWIndows and reverts
to CLI-only mode.
If I take the card out and reboot, XWindows loads comfortably again.
Would anyone have any thoughts on this problem?
Any alternative video cards I could use instead of the onboard video?
Thanks in advance for your input!
A Qwerty
I have a machine with an onboard video chip running X (yes,
successfully) with a plug-in video card as well. You need to have
different Device sections in your XF86Config file for *each* video card
even if you don't plug a monitor into it. You have one Screen section
for each video card being "used" - i.e. plugged into a monitor. If you
have a version of X newer than 4.1 it gets wierd - that is Xfree 86
version 4.2 onwards. Here there is the ServerLayout section required and
as far as I can tell it just confuses things - not even the source for
4.4 explains how to use it correctly in this case. If the server won't
start with this much information, reply saying so, and I'll paste the
relevant parts of my XF86Config file that I created manually (for
version 4.4 which I compiled).
For more information on this there's always:
man XF86Config
