4.1 Configuration of the X Windows System

To utilize a windows manager the graphic card and the monitor need to be configured. (Discregarding the touchscreen for now.)

The Stylistic LT has a Neomagic graphic card connected to the PCI bus. 'lspci -vv' reports it as:
[...]

I had no problem get it detected by sax2, the SuSE configuration tool. After that /etc/X11/XFConfig contained the entry:
[...]
Section "Device"
  BoardName "NM2160"
  BusID "0:20:0"
  Driver "neomagic"
  Identifier "Device[0]"
  VendorName "NeoMagic"
EndSection
[...]


The display was entered as:
[...]
Section "Monitor"
  HorizSync 31-65
  Identifier "Monitor[0]"
  ModelName "800X600@75HZ"
  Option "DPMS"
  VendorName "--> LCD"
  VertRefresh 58-75
  UseModes "Modes[0]"
EndSection
[...]


with the mode:
[...]

  Identifier "Modes[0]"
  Modeline "800x600" 46.80 800 816 928 1072 600 600 610 626
