I havn’t had Linux installed for a while and have forggoten a lot of things, I just did a fresh install of 11.1 and when it booted my monitor was blank ( black screen) and I seen a message saying something like monitor out of syn. I remember that this happened to me before but I have forgotten how to fix this. I am currently imn fail safe. the only thing that is different from the last time I had Linux installed is I am now running the nvidia 216 vid card and I am using the onboard sound ( gigabyte p35 mother board) .
I would apprecieate any help.

Hi Shadowmeph,

I just had a problem where only failsafe worked. It turned out to be a problem with the nvidia drivers, which was fixed by removing them and installing the latest ones.

You can setup the nvidia repository via YaST>Software>Software Repositories
Here’s the address for it; download.nvidia.com/opensuse/11.1

I would try un-installing all the currently installed drivers, then install the latest nvidia driver.

hi thanks for reply
all it ended up being is this HorizSync 30.0 - 85.0
VertRefresh 43.0 - 75.0 in my xorg.conf it works now.
