no Graphic mode after intallation of SUSE 11.1

English Install/Boot/Login
1

Hi all,

Could anyone please help me?

I have tried to install SUSE 11.1 two times already but i always face this problem.

The problem is that :
When I finished installing SUSE 11.1, It has no Graphic mode to log in. This means that it has only text mode (tty0-tty6), I can not run level7.
What should I do to fix it? to make it normally run Graphic mode?

Thanks in advance for you answer.:slight_smile:

Login as root then type these commands.

init 3
sax -r -m 0=vesa
init 5

Then let’s find out what graphics adapter you have.

when I typed

sax -r -m 0=vesa

it did not work. it show the message “-bash: sax: command not found”

sax**2** -r -m 0=vesa

then I show message as the following


Sax: Initializing please wait...

try

startx

as root to check if your Xserver installation is correct. Then, check the xserver log to see if X is having a problem when starting.

startx is also not working. it show the message as the follwoing

Gah, sorry for the sax2 typo - I was quite busy when I was typing it.

To make sure X is properly installed, try:
zypper in -t pattern x11

Hmm…, I doubt your xserver was installed correctly. As root, try yast with ncurses interface:


# yast

reinstall those xorg-related packages in System category, most of them named with ‘xorg-’ prefix.

Now try to reconfigure xorg with SaX2
