"Graphic" boot process

Hi,
sorry but couldn't find an answer to this question even though I assume it must be somewhere.
I have an HP Vectra VL400 on which I've installed Suse 9.2. The problem I've had with installation was that it was impossible to proceed with the graphic process so I had to choose the text mode. Now, everything went fine and I have X/KDE/Gnome running except for the text-only boot.

Is there a way to switch on/off the graphic boot?

Thanks,
-mw

You can change your default run level, assuming some hardware problem isn't preventing you from running X. What output does the

cat /etc/inittab

give you?

As I understand you boot now without framebuffer(graphical boot)? What kind of videocard you have?
Check if it supports framebuffer.

lol just saw anomie his post and now I ask myself what you mean exactly?
graphical boot or graphical login?

I mean graphical boot (which is currently text-only) not graphical login (which works just fine).
Video card is on board, must be cheap stuff. How can I check if framebuffer is supported or not?

I've found this:

Will have a look at it before I post more.

You can use yast to select which runlevel you want to boot into

3 -> text login
5-> graphical login

type (as root)

in a console

init 5

and press enter

log in graphically, then use Yast2 (nice and graphical) to set the boot in System
