I ran into that and I used sax2 -l and it boots in low resolution. Then you can go and set an appropriate resolution.
Hi David et al, David Straiton's suggestion looks like a good one, so did the suggestion Anders made in his first post. In addition (I may have missed it) but when you did the initial install did you also "patch" the machine with all the yast and other security updates for 9.0 ??? I find until I do patch my machines, they act flacky. Further, what run level where you in while doing your "hwscan" and "sax2" changes ??? I have found that doing them in runlevel 3 on a virtual terminal (Alt+Ctrl+F1) works best for me. (init 3) YMMV. (That way x is not trying to run) I only swich back to run level 5 afterwards. IIRC. with grub, you can also boot direct into runlevel 3 by just by typing its number while the machine is booting up. I think you can do something similar in lilo, but it has been a while so I may be wrong.)
