I did an escape at boot, selected Failsafe, and now have a running SUSE system! (This was the second boot.) Everything seems to be working. I opened a new text document in office. Now running updates.
And it is a P-4. Specs from Gateway site for model 505GR: Processor Brand Intel® Processor Class Pentium® 4 Processor with Hyper-Threading Technology 530 Processor Speed 3.0 GHz Bus Speed 800 MHz Cache Size 1 MB System Chipset Intel 915G Express Chipset Memory 2 gig (I added 1 Gig)
Is Windows still on it too? And/or some other Linux suspending to swap? I installed 11.4 multiboot on a pair of 2.8GHz P4HT i915G Dell GX280 systems with 2G RAM a month ago, and have no recollection of video trouble. Maybe Jack's CPU is too fast? ;-) I wonder of bootsplash or splashy could have something to do with his problem. I always taboo both of them during installation. Another difference is my cmdlines include noresume & video=1152x864. If Jack's still running with nomodeset after doing his updates, he'll need to tweak until that's not necessary for best X performance, especially if he's not using a 4:3 or 5:4 display device. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
