Has trouble following the instructions from here.
At another site I found information. At boot I entered ‘-nomodeset’ and booted up.
Opened a terminal & as described in the link entered root, once I figured out that is ‘su’ not root. :shame:
Anyway manage to download the driver & the screen resolution is now set.
Just wondering if that’s the way to do it or did I mess something up?
Could not find an ‘edit’ button. Sorry.
One more question…for now.
How do you exit out of a terminal?
type:
exit
If full screen in run level 3, then with root permissions to turn off PC type:
shutdown -h now
If full screen in run level 3, then with root permissions to restart PC type:
shutdown -r now
wrt nomodeset, the openSUSE-12.1 release notes provides guidance on this: openSUSE 12.1 Release Notes
Thanks for the info & link.
