What video card does it have? Xn00 series? And what display do you have? My Acer has an X700 and was very touchy on the install. It in fact selected the correct display (Quanta 1280x800), but I had was unsure and overrode the defaults and set it to a generic 1280x800 LCD. The X700 or the display didn't like that, reseting back to the automatic choice solved it for me... Am Dienstag, 7. Februar 2006 19:32 schrieb Peter Buschbacher:
I am trying to help a friend to install suse on his ASUS A6V Laptop. Because opensuse 10.0 left us alone with a black screen at x-startup after installation, we gave beta 3 a try. Here some of our experiences:
The Installation Process was working well until it should start x in the end. The same problem as with 10.0 before. We tried to compile the proprietary ati driver 8.20.8-i386.run without succes from the commandline. Afterwards I tried sax2, and it was able to make a (very generic) guess to run x. Then it was possible to boot into KDE. We wanted to configure the monitor settings from Yast, but Yast just did not open (several tries). CTRl + ALT + Fx did not skip to a commandline-login but restarted x to kdm or xdm (I dont know for sure). Strange, not?!
Unfortunately we are not able to do more testing on this machine because now we try it again with 10.0 and hope to get it working with sax2. We hope most of the problems can be fixed by the final release.
