Dear List Members,

At this point a cold boot. Disturbingly during the POST there was *no* video on screen. The card and monitor have dual (analogue and digital) connections but video did not appear on either.
Once the POST was over and Linux took over things, I get the log-on screen.
Subsequent cold starts repeat this behaviour - it is as if the video card has had a "personality change" and now only works in conjunction with the Linux OS and the nVidia drivers... it no longer functions "stand alone" with just the motherboard BIOS.
What is the vga= parameter in your grub menu, (/boot/grub/menu.lst). Try putting vga=normal there and see if you get the startup messages.
Alternatively, what happens if boot in failsafe mode, any difference?
Thanks Don. Will try the grub vga=normal parameter. I do not get a chance to boot in failsafe mode because I can see no video to know what to press / click. :-( Kind regards, Denis -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
