hello,
i installed Suse11.1. The onboard grafic-card and the Monitor are correct in Yast. But the screen turns black all few seconds. In the failsave mode this doesn t happen.
I already tryed to choose Vesa instead the Monitor an Choose low resolutions and only 256 colors. This doesn t change anything.
My idea is to take the failsave options to normal mode and be happy. How can I do this?
thanx
In kde
kdesu kwrite /boot/grub/menu.lst
In Gnome
gnomesu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
you can edit boot in there.
But you would be better to sort out the graphics issue really.
When you open menu.lst - copy and paste it all here
Tell us more about your on-board etc…
Maybe post: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
hello caf4926,
My menue list is:

Is there some information that helps?
This is your video type

And it looks like it should work properly in 11.0 but not 11.1

unfortunately it doesn’t work … still black srcreens …
try adding (x11failsafe) to the boot line - no brackets
you can see it in the failsafe section
hello caf4926
x11failsafe vga=0x331 works more or less fine, I don t have my german keyboard, and the screen refresh is quite low (something about 50 Hz)
x11failsafe vga=0x317 results in a moving srceen like waves …
looking on

i have to say that 3D is activated and i am not able to take out the X there. Is there some other way? Vesa i already chose without a positve result …
