Description Martin Fahlgren 2005-09-01 09:50:06 UTC 
In our educationtal centre we have about 100 new Dell Optiplex
GX620 computers with ATI Radeon X600 SE 128MB graphic cards.

In several of our courses we let the students install and use 
Linux and that was planned this autumn also. But it turned out 
to be problematic.

First I tried to install SuSE 9.3. The installation
worked OK, but after rebooting the computer froze.
I could start it in text mode, but the computer froze
again when I tried to reconfigure the graphics system
(or start it with startx from text mode). The freeze
is "total", the (LCD) screen is black and mouse and keyboard
don't respond.

After that I tried to check if it was a "generic"
Linux problem and booted a new Knoppix version and
everything worked OK.

So I concluded that the problem is linked to Sax
and the SuSE graphics system. Therefore I downloaded
SuSE 10 beta3 version. The installation worked
without any problems, but after rebooting the computer froze
again. As with SuSE 9.3 I could boot in text mode, but
when trying to start graphics or trying to reconfigure 
graphics the computer froze again.

mass reopening all SuSE Linux bugs that are set to REMIND+LATER to change the resolution to WONTFIX (adapting to new policy)

Closing old LATER+REMIND bugs as WONTFIX - if you still plan to work on it, feel free to reopen and set to ASSIGNED.

In case the report saw repeated reopen comments, it's due to bugzilla timing out on the huge request ;(
