OK, you guys probably get many questions similar to this, but how do you change the video driver back to VESA? Also, if I had an ATI card, would openSUSE have tried a VESA driver before I installed the ATI driver? I’m asking this because, it used to crash before I installed the ATI driver, and after. I currently have 3D acceleration off, but I want to try it, and I’m wondering if VESA would work for me. (In case your wondering, my ATI graphics card is five years old and not supported by current ATI drivers.)
Boot and at the grub screen type
runlevel 3
log in with normal user and:
su
sax2 -r -m 0=vesa
This will reconfigure the X server for you with VESA drivers. Reboot (type reboot) after this operation.
.
**If you are already logged in ** with your user press CTRL+ALT+F1 - this will drop you to command line. Here type
su
init 3
and execute the same commands from above to reconfigure the X:
sax2 -r -m 0=vesa
.
Hope that helps.
yes! thankyou!
