Received & installed 8.2 Pro - very, very happy. Only 2 issues - one is Boot Up screen resolution. (Other will be posted separately)
The boot up screen is no longer the plain character mode console. SuSE puts up what appears to be a vt-100 style xterm in a minimum graphical mode. (Apparently you can put a splash screen image/logo on top of this to hide the boot process from exciteable users.)
My monitor (Samsung SyncMaster 171S LCD) is not happy with the bootup video mode - keeps displaying 'invalid signal', although it also displays the terminal and contents as well. The characters come through very fuzzy, and I suspect I'll go nuts if I need to boot -s.
During install, I needed to change the video resolution as the monitor did not cooperate with the default 1280x1024 (or higher???). It seems that the resolution I selected is now the default on the boot-term. So, I need to figure out how to adjust the resolution for this boot-up terminal emulator.
/Hans (I admit, I haven't RTFM for this yet - a few other crisis going on. TIA to anyone who answers, especially who points to the proper place in the manual.)
At the start of the installation screen press F2 (I think that's correct) and this will give you an option to set the resolution for the screen. This should be done during the initialization of the install process. If you're having problems after you've installed the OS and want to set this permanently I'll have to do a little background on this and get back - I'm in a rush right now and don't have time to look at it.
