XFree86: Version 3.3.4


SuSE-INTERN:

Symptom:

When you try to configure your graphic card with the Voodoo chipset (Voodoo Banshee or Voodoo3), sax reports an error message:
Server not installed.
Please install the package

xbanshee
However the package "xbanshee" cannot be found on the SuSE CDs.

Cause:

From XFree 3.3.4 onwards, a special Banshee-server has been integrated into the svga-server. However sax still searches for the XFCom_Banshee server.

Solution:

Log in as user root. Use YaST to make sure the package xsvga from the series xsrv is installed. In sax, in the listbox vendor, select the entry "---AUTO DETECTED---" .

or:

After installing the xsvga-server, create a symbolic link:

ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA /usr/X11R6/bin/XFCom_Banshee

Now You are able to install the graphic card via sax by selecting the appropriate entries in the listboxes vendor and model.
