I have boot the computer with 12.1 Live CD downloaded yesterday. This is the first time and it booted without a hint of any issue. However, I have checked and the Desktop effects have been turned off. I tried to enable but GNOME gave an error message and logged me out.
I have given the command “/sbin/lspci -nnk | grep VGA -A2” but the output is exactly same as 11.4.
I have checked the “50-device.conf” and it’s all commented !
# Having multiple "Device" sections is known to be problematic. Make
# sure you don't have in use another one laying around e.g. in another
# xorg.conf.d file or even a generic xorg.conf file. More details can

#
#Section "Device"
# Identifier "Default Device"
#
# #Driver "radeon"
#
# ## Required magic for radeon/radeonhd drivers; output name
# ## (here: "DVI-0") can be figured out via 'xrandr -q'
# #Option "monitor-DVI-0" "Default Monitor"
#
#EndSection
I emphasize, ALL COMMENT, because on 11.4 it had some lines which were not started with ‘#’. This is what 11.4 had (for comparison purposes).
Section "Device"
Identifier "Default Device"
#Driver "radeon"
Driver "intellegacy"
## Required magic for radeon/radeonhd drivers; output name
## (here: "DVI-0") can be figured out via 'xrandr -q'
#Option "monitor-DVI-0" "Default Monitor"
EndSection
Could the line “Identifier “Default Device”” has something to do with this?
I’m going to restart a few times and check what happens.
This post was moved from the Install/Boot/Login section of our forum ( openSuSE 11.4 boot fail after install ) and it has been moved here in prerelease/beta from that area. Users who are curious about the openSUSE-11.4 issues are invited to look at the openSuSE 11.4 boot fail after install area, or NNTP users can go to instll-boot-login looking for the thread “openSUSE-11.4 boot fail after install” started by user kaawa.
This prerelease/beta thread is now open for both NNTP and WEB based users to reply to.
Its not-unusual that one needs to turn off special desktop effects to get some Intel graphic hardware to work in GNU/Linux.
That may be a known GNOME issue ? Hopefully one of the openSUSE-12.1 Gnome testers can comment on that.
kaawa, please, what “build” of openSUSE-12.1 did you install? Without knowing that it can be difficult to provide good comments.
That’s expected. Of course one can NOT tell what version of the i915 module based on that very top level command.
Yes, that is standard for openSUSE-12.1. The graphic configuration between 11.3 and 12.1 is evolving.
I think what is significant here is you are using the intellegacy driver in 11.3 and it appears in 12.1 you are not using the legacy driver. Ergo if I read that correctly, there has been an improvement between 11.3 and 12.1 milestone-??? and you are now able to use the newer driver, while before you were not able to do so!
