Graphic cards with Cirrus Logic 542x chipset

Support knowledgebase (maddin_xcirrus)
Applies to

SuSE Linux: Versions since 4.3
XFree86: Versions since 3.2

Symptom:

You have a graphic card with a (supported) Cirrus Logic CL-GD 542x chipset. You have installed your X server via XF86Setup. When you start the X server, an error message like this one appears in the file ~/.X.err :
(--) SVGA: clgd5424: Specifying a Clocks line makes no sense for this
driver
SVGA: 'clgd5424' is an invalid chipset
 *** None of the configured devices were detected.***

Cause:

XF86Setup writes Clocks lines for these graphic cards into the file /etc/XF86Config. However, these may not be declared for this chipset.

Solution:

Now the start of the X-server should be successful.
