I have same problem on laptop :frowning:

so I run installation DVD run rescue mode (or something
imilar)
log in terminal window find where is my root partition
mounted
it was in /mnt

I was checked /mnt/etc/inittab


# The default runlevel is defined here
id:5:initdefault

i use vi to change runlevel 5 to 3


id:3:initdefault

then i reboot in teriminal
log as root

rm fglrx driver by running


#zypper rm fglrx*

one more restart


#sax2 -a

thats it. change runlevel in /etc/inittab back to 5
run init 5 or startx or reboot

it will be interesting to me how can I unload
unnececcery module fglrx?

normally I use


#modprobe fglrx

but how can i unload it?

WBR

No need for that.
Just boot normally - no rescue disk - and when grub loads type the number 3 and press enter - runlevel 3 for you :slight_smile:

You need modprobe -r fglrx
or rmmod fglrx (the first is better)

No need for that.

I did not know this. I was ask my neighbor linux guru this question, but have an answer that this impossible to made from grub
so i have a long ride :slight_smile: to run init 3

You need modprobe -r fglrx
