Problems during installation. After rebooting, the last stage (the creation of settings) can be extended only in failsafe mode. Last boot only in failsafe mode. In normal mode startx not start. Installation catalyst 11.9 does not solve this problem. -- 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.

The video output is the same, but it appears right just after selecting install int the boot menu. System config : MotherBord : Asrock 970 Extreme 3 Processor : AMD FX 4100 Memory : 8GB DDR 3 @ 1333 MHz Corsair Video : Sapphire Radeon HD 6790 HDD : WD Caviar 500 GB @7200 rpm I was able to install openSuse 12.1 using another graphics board (Nvidia 250 GTS) on the same system. Also, I can install openSuse 11.4 and it works ok, but i cannot get the fglrx drivers to work properly on 11.4 . -- 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.

In addition, screen dimension was inaccurate. Display was 1920x1080 TV but best I could get with DVI-to-VGA connector was allegedly 1600x1200. Via HDMI, I only got 640x480! These are the same display resolutions that were achieved during installation process. I had managed to install 12.1 OK (on separate drive to dodge UEFI bullet) and got correct resolution. -- 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.

After that it worked ok. Here is a great tutorial for atiupdate : http://forums.opensuse.org/content/115-ati-driver-atiupgrade-new-version.htm...

I seem to be going one step forward and two - at least - back. See https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=803026 I see that I didn't add a comment here that I'd successfully installed 12.2 on the internal drive. Not sure why I didn't respond to your pings in July but I don't recall seeing them - not that my memory can be banked upon. I'm going to try another install on the external drive to see how that works out. -- 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.

After installation, I changed the boot system from GRUB2 to GRUB - tricky whilst negotiating a 40-60 split screen - and rebooted. Normal graphics service was resumed with display properly centred. -- 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.

As I assume it's still a feature of the 12.3 installation, I'm not sure whether this qualifies as 'fixed' or not; I'd say yes but will leave it to the experts. -- 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.
