The problem seems to be the added vga= option (since removing it works). So why is it there? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Most people (such as the two people I know who have this laptop) would have never figured out that they would need to alter some boot option. It's a bug that this boot option, vga=0x314, is there by default on this computer, since it constrains the resolution for the entire session. So the question is really who's responsible for putting that boot option there, because by default it's broken on that laptop so it needs to be changed, and that's who I need to assign it to. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

When you remove the vga option, like I said, it works fine. Furthermore, on the other computer the resolution was not altered at all during installation, so even if that was the issue it's a bug that by default it's that size. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
