That means there's nothing further required in changing the bootloader. It just works, now.

Regarding the xwindow, you said this in your first post:

suse goes to the login text only.

Is there any message at all before you get that text login screen?

And also, after you login at the text login, run this command:

tail /var/log/boot.msg

and post here the results

This is well beyond me now. But: try running this as root:

sax2

that should reconfigure the video. What happens?

PS: ppl with ideas -- step in.

Thanks

startx

I don't know how to capture the text and save

but it says
creating new authority file /root/ .serverauth.3056
same /root/ .Xauthority

X.Org X server 1.5.2

some text missing

module loader present

then

Backtrace:
0:
1:
to 9

all with text
then fatal error
caught signal 11 server aborting
giving up
xinit: connection refused (errno11): unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3) server error

then the login text

I can type out the backtrace lines 0 to 9 if of any use?

Thanks
