hi
i am having acer aspire 4736 laptop, i installed opensuse 11.4 64bit after installation completes system restarted and icompleted post-install configuration 
. then when i restarted again and selected to boot from opensuse first splash screen comes but within a second it went off again it comes only for a moment & went off 
but system is still running there is no display for all text as well as graphics modes(alt+ctrl+f1ā¦f7). i restarted my system again and again it started well only once or twice for lots of time >:( .
i checked in failsafe mode also there in display properties it is not able to detect moniter. i selected default settings it is showing some x11 org not found like that error.
how can i get rid of this problem?
please somebody help!!! :ā(
So what video card in the acer???
its intel GMA 4500MHZ.
i got somewhere as
āMobile IntelĀ® GM45 Express Chipset with integrated 3D graphics, featuring IntelĀ® Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD (IntelĀ® GMA 4500MHD) with up to 1759 MB of IntelĀ® Dynamic Video Memory Technology 5.0 (64 MB of dedicated video memory, up to 1695 MB of shared system memory)ā

Add ānomodesetā to the GRUP options line. That will keep the i915 driver from
loading. Does that help?
