(EE) No devices detected.
No devices, no video. Need to focus on why it can't find devices. If you still have a functional xorg.conf file from 10.2 around, I'd start evaluating differences from the 10.3 versions you've tried so far, maybe even try that file as is.
Fatal server error: no screens found
It'll never find any screens without first finding device(s) (gfxcard, with video ram and acceptable modelines).
I believe this is saying it could not find a resolution it could use that would be accepted by your monitor.
Resolution is something it can't manage to work out prior to finding hardware to apply it to.
Hi Joe, thanks for the rundown. My xorg.conf shows the correct monitor, an lcd. Under opensuse 10.2 it ran kde at 1600x1200 in the gui
Xorg keeps getting smarter and dumber. Some people are able to run X with no xorg.conf file at all - that's the ultimate goal of the project - or, like me, at least an xorg.conf version containing no modelines. I'd start by trying no file at all. If it works, it's a good start. If not, you need to focus on (EE) lines in Xorg.0.log. First, unless you're skilled at manually manipulating xorg.conf, you'll need to get sax2 to work, focusing on whatever error messages you find in SaX.log. If you can't sort that out on your own, including looking through Novell's Bugzilla for similar trouble, ask here for more, but without bombing everyone with loads of data each time. Put the logs and xorg.conf on pastebin or personal web space, including only those links in the list email. I don't believe there's any possibility you won't be able to make 10.3 work at 1600x1200 with at least one of those gfxcards if 10.2 did. But, stop with fresh installs, and direct your energy at the logs - they're pretty good at pointing to what needs fixing. If you really feel compelled to keep installing in hope something will turn out differently, I suggest an HTTP install from Factory. If that too fails, then, assuming you can't find an existing one on point, file a bug, and let the development experts spot the reason for failure. -- "The basis of our Bill of Rights comes from the teachings we get from Exodus and St. Matthew, from Isaiah and St. Paul.
