I now have a second Suse box that is refusing to start properly. I used Yast to do an online update (opensuse 13.2), and it gave me a message that one of the updates required a reboot. I thus tried to reboot, but it failed to start properly. Instead I get a fatal error about xgifb. The first ststaement I see is that it complains that it is unable to request memory, size 2000000. The next, which it flags as fatal, sayy it is unable to reserve frame buffer memory and it asks if there is another frame buffer driver active. Now, on this machine, I can get to a repair 'desktop', which seems to be comprised of a command shell (maybe bash? sh?) But I have no idea what to do, what commands to submit, in order to fix this thing. Can someone advise on what to try, and what documentation to look at? I am feeling rather hamstrung as I am a programmer, not a system administrator or computer repair tech.
