The installation of XFree86 is divided into the following parts. Please keep the order!
xvga16-b, xman, xdoc, xf86, xshared, fvwm
x8514, xagx, xi128, xmach32, xmach64, xmach8, xmono, xp9k, xs3, xs3v, xsvga, xvga16, xw32or the beta X server belonging to it (if required), e.g.
xs3-b
. We recommend to install the respective beta server. You should uninstall the beta server with YaST after a succesful configuration and install the corresponding release server (without "-"b at the end ). If this does not work, please switch back to the beta server.
xwm
: fvwm, fvwm1, fvwm95, bowman, afterstp, mmcore1 (mwm), ctwm
xwm
: 3dpixm, 3dpixms, susewm (former susefvwm)
This can be done either by YaST (menu option Configurating system
administration/XFree86[tm]
, use XF86Setup) or by invoking
XF86Setupmanually from console. Please be aware that you have to be
root
..
If you already have a file /etc/XF86Config, you are asked:
Would you like to use the existing XF86Config file for defaults?If your X windows does not work correctly or at a first installation, answer:
No.Now XFree86 is started using the vga16 beta server which allows you to configure the specific X server graphically and interactively with a 640x480 points' resolution and 16 colors.
Now you should configure your mouse, keyboard, graphics card and monitor in the corresponding sections. Try a low resolution monitor first. If everything works fine you may set a higher resolution. Anyway, do not give a higher value than given in your monitor's manual!
If you do not know exactly the chips' name of your graphics card do not fill in any entries in
Detailed Setup.
Exit the configuration with
Done. Now your selected X server and xvidtune are started. You can make special adaptions to your configuration with xvidtune.
If everything went fine you should now be able to work with the X-Window system. However chances are that errors occur. Since it is easier to debug a file with error messages have a look at the file by typing
more ~/.X.err.
Please read the paragraph 8.2.1 in our manual (for S.u.S.E. Linux 4.4) page 8-7, X-Window-System for "the unpatient"!
