I just got OpenSUSE installed on a second machine, my mid-2010 iMac. The install went well, however, I was presented with a dreaded ‘bad or wrong driver’’ type black screen upon launch.
I have an ATI Radeon HD 4670, which is more than likely Mac specific.
I had no problem getting the Catalyst program over to my Windows install, but, this one is baffling me. When I boot in failsafe mode, I don’t even get a command line. A script starts executing and goes nowhere. There doesn’t seem a way to break the script.
I’m wondering how on earth can I install the proper video driver if I can’t get a command line? Is there a way to launch the system with a generic video driver that will give me some type of desktop? That would be the easiest. I have done lots of command line work in the past, when the GUI was an experimental thing in Linux.
Any advice appreciated. It I need to post any more info, let me know and I will gladly do so.
