OK, but I was thinking more of what is in F5: noacpi (plus nomodeset) or even Safe Mode.
Even Safe mode does not work. One some machines with 12.3 I have had to add
video=1024x768 and vga=0x317 Does not work on this system.
Easiest fix might be if you have a video card you can stick in it long enough to get xf86-video-mga-1.6.2-2.4.1 installed. Alternatively, boot something older than 12.2 and chroot to install it.
package xf86-video-mga-1.6.2-2.4.1.x86_64 is already installed
But I still have the problem.
This server board comes with 'dual-video mode' enabled by default in the BIOS. If you disable this mode, the on-board graphics controller that is giving you trouble will be disabled when you install a better supported graphics card -- something really minimal and cheap but well supported -- just long enough to get the installation and all the updates done. Then you pull the cheap card out and run it headless, like any other server. http://download.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/s5520hc/sb/e39529013_s... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
