I am new to Linux and originally installed Ubuntu 6.10 on my Dell
Optiplex GX110 system without any fatal problems. After reading a very
positive review on Linux.com, "openSUSE 10.2: the best Linux desktop
yet?" <http://www.linux.com/article.pl?sid=06/12/11/1526210>, I
installed openSUSE 10.2 on my notebook computer without problems and
liked it so much that I want to switch to openSUSE on my desktop
computer as well.

I'm getting this installation error:

"Your computer does not fulfill all requirements for a graphical
installation. There is less than 96 MB memory or the X server could
not be started. As a fall back, the text front-end of YaST will guide
you through the installation..."

The problem is likely that "the X server could not be started",
because my system has 256 MB SDRAM installed. The CPU is an Intel
Pentium IIIE, 933 MHz. The properties of the integrated video adapter
are:

    Device Description   Intel Corporation 810 Graphics Controller Hub
    Adapter String       Intel810 Video Accelerator
    BIOS String          Intel Video BIOS
    Chip Type            Intel810
    DAC Type             Internal
    Memory Size          4 MB

My monitor is a Samsung SyncMaster 753DF:

    Manufacture Date            2003
    Max. Visible Display Size   32 cm x 24 cm ( 15.7")
    Picture Aspect Ratio        4:3
    Horizontal Frequency        30 - 71 kHz
    Vertical Frequency          50 - 160 Hz
    Maximum Resolution          1280 x 1024
    Gamma                        1.82
    DPMS Mode Support           Active-Off

Has anyone run into this problem and found a solution, know a likely
solution, or have some pointers on how to solve an installation
problem like this?
