This looks like it could be a kernel/framebuffer bug which I just saw again on Monday with a slightly newer PCI GeForce and 12.2 but Nouveau instead NVidia driver. Please beg, borrow, steal or buy a DVI cable to substitute at least long enough to see if the behavior changes.
I tried it with a DVI cable but since the monitor doesn't have a DVI socket I had to use a DVI/9-pin VGA converter. That is, the converter is plugged in the graphic card DVI output and from the converter the regular RGB cable goes to the monitor. I don't know if this matters. With this setup xorg hasn't even started. Normal console logins were available at vt1-vt6. (This what I'd like to have along with the graphical login.) Here is the output of Xorg.0.log of this setup: [ 513.594] X.Org X Server 1.12.3 Release Date: 2012-07-09 [ 513.594] X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 [ 513.594] Build Operating System: openSUSE SUSE LINUX [ 513.594] Current Operating System: Linux pc 3.4.63-2.44-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Oct 2 11:18:32 UTC 2013 (d91a619) x86_64 [ 513.594] Kernel command line: root=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-Maxtor_6Y080L0_Y2ADJHVC-part2 resume=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-Maxtor_6Y080L0_Y2ADJHVC-part6 splash=silent quiet nomodeset [ 513.594] Build Date: 19 December 2013 01:41:37PM [ 513.594] [ 513.594] Current version of pixman: 0.24.4 [ 513.594] Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.

If it's the same problem I saw, there might not be any other fix or workaround short of a different gfxcard.
I have spare graphics cards but they are also NVIDIA GeForce 6200 models. I tried one of them, gave the same result.
I didn't try too hard. Instead I replaced the card, which I was only trying out anyway. It was available here to try in the first place because I had removed it from another system where it was also producing out of range black LCD screens using a VGA cable but not DVI cable.
What I don't understand is that until the graphical login hasn't started the monitor works well during the boot. The boot loader image looks correct and boot the boot messages are shown. The console mode is disabled only after xorg has started. Why is that? Furthermore, this problem did not appear with the previous monitor.
Other things to try: remove quiet from kernel cmdline change kernel cmdline from splash=silent to splash=verbose
I do have this mode.
Which DE? Gnome? KDE? LXDE? ????? Does it happen with all you have installed?
It is KDE 3.5.10 for openSUSE 12.2 with KDM login manager. I would try to make an xorg.conf file but how can find out the correct values, especially modelines? Thanks, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
