Hi,

Hm, no, you got me wrong: I'm not trying to run in textmode. I'm trying to run yast2 in graphical mode, but it always starts in textmode automatically telling me that the X server was already active (which it is not, of course :-() -- Dipl.-Inform.

I have seen this happen as well in 9.1 and not in 9.0. I have a similiar setup as you do as well. PXE boot for a network install. I do see X popup for a moment, the graphic display switches, I see the X background and mouse cursor than it switches back to textmode. I have investigated the problem at this time since textmode is actually what I want to be in at this time. -Nick On Tue, 13 Jul 2004, Frank Steiner wrote:

Nice to see that I'm not the only one :-) Well, I guess this is not an AY problem, since the problem also occurs then I don't instruct linuxrc to call AY. I guess I will report it to the general SuSE feedback. However, Anas, if you want some more information for yourself, please let me know. For those who run into the same problem: Using vnc works. Specify vnc=1 vncpassword=install (or whatever password) as parameter e.g. in the append line in pxelinux.cfg, and you can get yast in graphical mode via vnc from a different computer. cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform.

Hi, Try specifying some vga mode in the boot options, i.e. vga=791. Anas Frank Steiner wrote:

Works! Great! Anything except "vga=normal" does work. I don't really understand it, but anyway :-) Thanks a lot for that quick help! cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform.
