Isn't it the case, though, that after setting the graphics card and screen parameters, you can test them out: there's a countdown dialogue which you have to press "OK" on to confirm the settings work for you? If you don't press it then you go back to the standard installer display settings (which must have been working for you to get this far!) In this way you can adjust the settings until they work, without being stranded at a blank screen or terminal. This seems sensible, and I think it's how I remember it working in the past.
Please stop falsifying this thread.
AFTER installation is totally different from DURING installation.
The paragraph above _is_ referring to the procedure during installation.
OK, it also is during, but far later. My focus is the very first "switch to graphical mode", the very first YaST window.
Getting confronted with too high frequencies at the right resolution during installation is a 100% show stopper if you don't know some dirty tricks.
It would be a show-stopper if the installer didn't let you test out the settings before proceeding. I'm _sure_ I remember this happening during installation for me in the past during installation:
Default settings appear -> press "test" -> if doesn't work -> repeat until it does work. -> carry on.
If I'm wrong about that, then apologies, but I don't think I'm making it up.
At beginning of installation, there is no choice or test. Just a black screen, no way around without dirty tricks.
