OK well you have two ways the mv can be done from the terminal after su(login as root) or you should be able to do it from failsafe and a su browser, or su terminal(Have to escalate rights as root owns xorg.conf). Then try running sax2 it should start, if not try sax2 -r -m 0=intel iirc this will reread/probe some stuff, but having removed the xorg.conf I’m hoping it should just do it with sax2.
Afaik you should always get failsafe tbh I still don’t really know where it gets the failsafe xorg.conf from.
Yes I noticed 2 mouses but specifically it says 2 touchpads(Synaptics). mouse [1] is the usb and I suspect mouse [3] should be the touchpad as for 5 and how it got there not sure(Never had anything to do with synaptics and I hate those things the couple of times I’ve encountered them).
Yes all we’ve done is move the non-working xorg.conf so we can restore it(Sounds a bit silly now but still).
Fingers crossed that is all you need to do. If you’re doing it from the terminal after running sax2, which hopefully will run, then you should be able to test with startx.
You can go back to failsafe, gui is always more friendly.
The only reason for non-failsafe is boot.msg and Xorg.0.log are created on each boot so on successful boots we get logs for successful boots which doesn’t help trouble shooting.
Mmm red I thought implied a vendor change, but you don’t have any strange repo’s you have a couple of duplicates but I did not think vendor change only thing I can think of is perhaps it is playing part of it.
Post the output of
zypper lr -u
This way we can see the duplicates and url’s perhaps it is having an effect and a mix of vendors is the problem.
Though personally the only one I thought might be problematic was vlc being enabled.
Now that was what I was expecting from lr earlier, number 4 why do you have this do you have a reason? You have enabled X11:XOrg/openSUSE_11.1 though it got hidden under openSUSE_11.1 as an alias.
zypper mr -d 4
zypper dup
sax2
Should have you up and running again.
Well I learnt something and that is don’t trust the output of zypper lr
no i do not know. I am a newbie as you know. I only get help from here from suse 10.2. I did get help to play dvd’s earlier in the year. I will do the above now.
