In cases like this where GUI was present during install it is also
Try these suggestions: possible to
get GUI using installation xorg.conf. Login as root and simply copy:
cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf-old
cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.install /etc/X11/xorg.conf
If all else fails:
Try setting the video driver in xorg.conf to vesa. You can edit xorg.conf with this command (if you have nano installed otherwise you need to use vi):
nano -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Date: Tue 09 Oct 2007 11:02:32 EST Hi All, after my second download and still the same result ie no GUI is starting, so I'll need help with this problem. Net download from http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/repo/oss working fine both times. Yast2 working in txt mode also appears to be fine. At end of first boot startup the display flashes 3 times with about 5 sec interval in an attempt to start the x-server ending with a msg gui failed to start followed by more similar msg about the x-output log and indicate the mouse is not configured correctly and last that gdm need to restart after correction is done. Mause+keyboard is a wireless Logitech connected to standard ps2 input. Sax2 attempt to start its own gui which also fails. Swop of ..config with the ..config.install produce a display with a moving pointer but other wise not useable, as The section for the mouse is quite different. The display and the Nvidia seems to be correctly detected. I'll try sax2 from runlevel 3 otherwise I need some input on where to look. anker
I don't know if this is going to help, but in the past I had a box to set up that gave me the same problem. I found the work-around was to enter "vga" (without quotes and no = equals sign) in the grub boot options. At runlevel 5 I get a graphical log-in screen and from there on X works perfectly. It makes no sense to me and I have no explanation as to why this works, but it can't do any harm to just give it a try.
HTH
