[Sderby] Video Card Help for SuSe 6.2

[Laurie L Proud]

Hi Folk's,

I will be bringing this machine to the meeting on Sunday !

Could Dom or Dave B refresh their memories how to install /configure
SuSe 6.2 (yast 1), and help get X-windows running on this machine
please. 

I've checked the box for the list of suported video cards, and it
does say this card is suppored.  In that case I don't know why it
diden't auto detect it.

If all else fails could we get it to go in VESA mode.

See you all Sunday.

Regards Laurie
