Hello.
Sax2 fails to run when using suse 11.x and with a S3virge graphics card. It worked with suse 10.3.
Question… what is to be done?
To see the problem I enclose:
- the Sax.log which give the name of the graphic card.
- Sax console message showing what bothers sax2.
- xdpyinfo output,which shows what modules are loaded and which are missing from the server.

Anyway, the ‘s3virge’ driver should be in xorg-x11-driver-video package.
