Hey all, first the server specs. Pentium 2 400Mhz, 256MB SDRam, 10GB hard drive, no graphics card.

Right, story goes. I put my Geforce 2 MX 400 64MB ram in the server so I could install SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 (got that free kit from novell) and I installed it great.

I think it was on post install it asked me if I want to enable 3d acceleration, I clicked yes (wish I hadn't now) and it said I got to do some stuff in order for it to work. So now Xfree86 does not work when I do startx.

You did not install any X-Server \(e.g. XF86_SVGA\)!
Please install at least one server to start X.
I'm aborting now.

Of course the graphics card is out now so I boot up and can SSH in but I would like to set-up tightvnc so I can view the desktop. Any ideas on how to rerun the post install script without reinstalling, I might have to install Xfree86 again I don't know since I'm really newb at linux. Thanks if you can help out.
 
As Xfree86 wasn't installed does anyone know an easy to understand guide to install that x.org thing for suse?

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
