When I first installed OpenSuse 12.4 64bit for the first time I upgraded every time the popup came along and told me I had to upgrade. Due to this I have no idea what version I'm now running and I'm not desirous of installing an upgrade by way of a complete system install just yet, it took me long enough to get this far. uname -ra gives me: Linux zeus.pelnet.net 3.7.10-1.1-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Feb 28 15:06:29 UTC 2013 (82d3f21) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux. Oh, I just found it, I'm running Dartmouth :-) 12.3.
The issue I have regards X. Is there a better way to install various X features/drivers other than the X challenged & thus vastly lacking "yast", (in which I have found none) and then save such into an "xorg.conf" file? I used to use Mandriva so if anyone knows about how it goes about setting X drivers this knowledge may be of some help. It's gotten me until now to debug the unsupported Matrox software drivers for this system and the card. The software is now compiling nicely now I need to find an "xorg.conf" file compatible with the data found in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d directory that this driver software (newly compiled) does not understand.
That is why I need an xorg.conf file and I'd be grateful for any amazing, novel, bright, ingenious ideas.
Bless your cottonsox.
