About your past questions; - ram modules work alone. I tried each one independently and worked fine. - yes, machine still starts with two old memories.
nomodeset is only on failsafe grub option. It's a ATI radeon 2400HD.
Boot to the openSUSE grub menu and add on the kernel line splash=verbose noresume nomodeset 3 then press enter, which will boot without starting X. If you get a shell prompt instead of boot failure or death screen: 1-login as root 2-mc 3-navigate to /var/log 4-inspect Xorg.0.log for lines containing (WW) & (EE) and report back what they say If you don't have mc installed, do 'zypper in mc' and try again. MC is the best friend of those with broken X (among others). Do this with the mismatched RAM modules installed, and again with only one of the two installed after running X via startx, and compare to see if there are differences. Xorg.0.log gets written anew on each X restart, so you may want to save by some other name for comparing multiple tries. The previous one is saved as Xorg.0.log.old each time, then overwritten the next time. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
