startx ?
Thanks but unfortunately no ... startx triggers a bazillion errors.
"Symbol VBESetVBEMode from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/sis_drv.o is unresolved!"
"Fatal server error: Caught signal 11. Server aborting."
"XIO: fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0" after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining."
Thanks! doc
Sounds like your X server is not configured correctly and that your default runlevel is wrong. 1) Fix X server config by running sax2 If that fails, you can try XF86Setup. This should get your X server running and when you type startx, it should work. 2) Seems like your machine is set up to start in runlevel 3 (Multiuser without graphics) If you want the machine to boot in graphics mode, you need to boot in runlevel 5 (Multiuser with Graphics) YAST should have a setting soemwhere to change this (I am not sure exactly where - maybe somebody else can tell you) You can go and edit a file to change the setting manually: Edit /etc/inittab (NB!! Make sure to make a backup copy first) THere is a line that should look like this: id:3:initdefault: Change the 3 to a 5 Then you system will boot in graphics mode.
