sorry... been a bit busy about to try the in place upgrade... if you want the ones from the install disk I could use some advice getting it... because once it tries configuring X it leaves my system locked up requiring a hard reset.
Boot into runlevel 3 to pick up the config and logfile, so X won't be started right again. The output of xdpyinfo doesn't help here. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

how do I tell the disk to boot to runlevel 3? I've never had to do that on a livecd before...
Booting into runlevel 3 of a LiveCD wouldn't help, since the files no longer exist. If you only can test with a LiveCD you would need to login remotely after the system freeze (hopefully it doesn't freeze the system completely, in this case you're lost) via ssh to copy the files. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

well my settings seem better... this time... except 1 thing. It wouldn't let me enable hardware acceleration.
You mean 3D support? This should be enabled by default.
I'm in X but I can't kill it. The system is beeping at me when I try to run ctrl-alt-bs
Press this key combination twice. # man xorg.conf [...] Option "ZapWarning" "boolean" This warns the user loudly when the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace sequence is pressed for the first time but still terminates the Xorg server when this key-sequence is pressed again shortly after. Default: off. On openSUSE >= 11.0 it's enabled by default.
another thing to note is the VT is rendered all weird even though X is currently working fine.
So it breaks the Linux console. That's bad. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Anyway, I see in the logfile, that 3D has been enabled. (II) RADEONRANDR12(Direct rendering enabled
So it breaks the Linux console. That's bad.
yes.
Ok. So X is fine now with radeonrandr12 driver? What are the results after replacing radeonrandr12 with radeon in xorg.conf? Does this also fix the Linux console (after a reboot)? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

switching back to radeon screws up the refresh rate again.
What does this mean? Monitor doesn't get a signal, blank screen, or what?
but it fixes the console.
