No problem, just [Ctrl][Alt][F1], log in, and type "startx -- :1" to start a new X session on F8, right? Well, not quite.
As soon as the [F1] session becomes live, the Acer goes blank and reports "Input signal not supported". You should choose a setting for the framebuffer (i.e. vga line in GRUB) your monitor supports. Similarly, the Acer does not support the input during the Linux startup. Do you mean the BIOS POST or GRUB stage 1 (grub screen)? You know, that splash-screen that says press [F2] for details? That is a different setting. Check it with the Yast, System, Boot Configuration. Doesn't work. Can't see the silly splash screen, and can't see the boot messages. This one is controlled by the vga= line in GRUB. Is there a way to modify the parameters of that splash-screen and graphic/text boot-message display? Maybe in an xterm, try hwinfo --framebuffer and choose a setting that will work. Has anybody else met this?
It isn't that uncommon as LCD flat panels are more freq sensitive.
