          Platform: x86

During installation of openSUSE 11.0 beta 2 on Lenovo Thinkpad T61 (model
6459-A11) the laptop screen goes blank (black) and unresponsive.

The initial phase of installation works fine. After the prompt to reboot, the
system restarts, however, when it starts the X server the screen is blank and
does not respond to keyboard or mouse. I tried:
1) ctrl-alt-del
2) ctrl-alt-backspace
3) ctrl-alt-Fx (x=1-9)
with no response.
Rebooted and tried several times.

I was able to hit ctrl-alt-f2 several times just prior and during startup of
the xserver (after the Knetwork script ends) and it dropped to a console.

I copied /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to xorg.conf.debug (attached for your
reference).
> From there I ran sax2. This started successfully, so I ctrl-alt-f7 to the X
display.

The install screen (at set the root password) was showing with message "3D
acceleration not supported"  Video card "NVidia Quadro NVS 140M" was correctly
identified and set to 800x600. I hit ok and saved config.

I was able to continue the install to completion. However, when system reboot,
it dropped to runlevel 3 and I had to set to 5 in /etc/inittab. Also, it
autologs in as user 'linux' which I didn't create. This may just be part of the
build as I have not installed factory before.

Hope this bug can be fixed and reporting it helps you guys and the 11.0
quality.

openSUSE is a great operating system. Thanks so much for your work on it
development team.

Regards,
John.
