Display problem

Thu Sep 28 13:17:12 UTC 2006

Hi there

I just installed Suse 10.0 64 on a Sun V40z attached to a HP TFT 5600
console (video, keyboard, mouse), everything was going ok, until I went
for the initial reboot after the installation of the packages (by then
Inknew I had to switch to 1024x764 from the initial gui with F3), and it
wouldn't give me a gui afterwards, the display would go blank, thinking
it was a driver problem I switch to text installation and everything
went fine, but after first reboot post installation, same thing not gui
at all, I switch to not gui and text logon and I can get to the server
now and logon but it wont startup startx, only does it if I run the
server as failsafe mode, it tells me there is a trident card in it and
display wonderfully using failsafe, but if I go back to normal mode, it
would go blank.

I upgraded anything I could on failsafe mode and everything went ok
hoping it would update the display drivers, but nothing still wont
display anything on normal mode, I am attaching below the actual 
xorg.conf file

I looked for trident drivers as it declares there ias one on that sun 
server, but nothing on the net, or if somebody has
any other ideas, all would be welcome

Thanks in advance for your help

Jose
