I thank you in advance for your input to correct what I'm doing wrong, and allow me to fix this issue.
Start with 'susepaste /var/log/Xorg.0.log' and providing here the resulting URL so we can evaluate. Here is the URL:

My GPU card is an nVidia G92 (GeForce 9800 GT)
Then, you probably should install the Nvidia proprietary driver. If it exists.
Ok, I can do that. But nouveau works on the other 10 or so distros I have installed. Do you intend this as a troubleshooting procedure? Why isn't nouveau working for 15.3?
Why it doesn't work is a different problem, specially interesting if it works with other distros or other releases (same machine).
You could not install the proprietary driver and try instead to work at the nouveau issue.
Hi Carlos, I installed the nVidia driver via instructions here: https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_drivers I rebooted the computer after the driver installation and it still only boots up to terminal. I still have to use sudo startx to get the graphics to start, and it still only comes up in 640x480 with no other options. The 15.3 iso that I have installed is Alpha. I see that Beta has just been announced. I wonder if it would save time to try to download and install Beta to see if magically this problem goes away with the new improved software, before I spend a lot of time troubleshooting it. This installation of 15.3 that I have written about is what I will designate InstallationA. I thought that maybe I had goofed something in the partitioning, so that is why I wrote all the stuff about the partioning designations. The other installation of 15.3 that I have on this computer, I decided to let openSuse do all the work of installation. I will call it InstallationB. It has btfs partitioning and opensuse made all the subvolumes on the single partition to which I installed it. When I try to boot it, it doesn't even get to terminal. It says error: no such device (numbers blah blah blah) error: file /boot/vmlinuz-5.3.10-46-default not found error: you need to load the kernel first press any key to continue So the point of writing this is that for some reason neither installation is working, and I am wondering if it would save time just to move on to Beta before trying to fix something that may have already been fixed. What do you think?
