That is not true. My HP Mini 110 netbook with an Intel 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML graphics adapter that normally uses i915 boots just fine with the nomodeset option. Actually, i915 loaded despite that option.

Just tell people to not buy NVidia?
If that is the case, then we tell all the people that already have nVidia equipment the "openSUSE is not for you!". Is that what we want to say?
No NVidia hardware around here and no problems *since years*.
I do fine here as well, even with nVidia, but you and I have a bit more knowledge than the general user. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
