what you describe sounds like a video driver problem to me. since you used a fresh install of 12.1, did you install any prop. video drivers yet? if not, or even if yes, adding "nomodeset" to the kernel line might have helped.
As I mentioned, I had everything working OK which included installing the nVidia 295.40 driver to give me 1920x1080p resolution.
But nothing would work at the start without first typing "nomodeset" at the beginning of the installation process . Cannot check the media, cannot do memtest - nothing, zilch, until one types in "nomodeset".
It is really stupid (to have to type this "nomodeset") to get openSUSE going when both Fedora and Kubuntu simply "get going" without this "nomodeset" nonsense. What's so damn special about openSUSE?! (Stubborn people?)
stubborn people? of course; otherwise there wouldn't be any openSUSE. gotta be a bit stubborn to persevere against odds, microsoft, and grumbling users like us :) i add "nomodeset" to the kernel boot parameters. it's not supposed to be needed after properly installing video, but it does no harm. there was a long discussion somewhere, on one of the mailing lists or forums, with many good and some heated arguments to include nomodeset by default. can't recall any of them right now, but seems the "don't include by default" faction won. what i do remember is to put it into the kernel boot parameters. got to scratch it into your long term memory somehow. IIRC you are, like i am, getting on with your years, so short term isn't that reliable anymore :( -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
