Booting issues, x server

English Install/Boot/Login
1

Hello all. I am new to linux and have chosen opensuse 11 for my first venture into the linux world. I have installed it on my system with no problems but when I boot it it gives me an error saying that it failed to start the X server. The reason it gives me is, (EE)problem parsing the config file, and (EE) Error parsng the config file, Fatal serer error: no screens found, (WW) xf86CloserConsole: KDESETMODE failed: Bad file descriptor, (WW) xf86Closerconsole: VG_GETMODE failed: Bad file descriptor.

MY specs are ASUS m2n-sli deluxe, AMD athlon x2 64 5200+, 3 gigs of RAM and dual xfx 7600gts.

Thank you in advance.

I also forgot to mention that I chose the GNOME desktop environment. Please help me out so I can stop using fail-windows.

you might be able to boot to a GUI login with failsafe boot option.

Then install the nvidia drivers
Oneclick: http://opensuse-community.org/nvidia.ymp

If failsafe doesn’t work
use normal boot option but clear any text in the boot options line and just type the number: 3

login as root (NB. as you type your password it does not display)

now type this:
sax2 -r -m 0=vesa

(NB the 0 in 0=vesa is a zero)

reboot
try a normal login again
