12.1 is probably way too old
During my Linux User Group meetings, we try to help people. We often notice, like in this example, people using very old installs we made some years ago, and never caring to upgrade (may be not even update) and with no problem whatsoever :-)
Linux is so :-(
but there the owner was thinking better to upgrade. At first is seemed to be a 32 bit (7 years old) computer, so my only recent 32bits usb pen was tumbleweed. At the end of the meeting, the screen was blinking and I directed the owner to forum support. He come today saying the forum (Alionet, french openSUSE support) could not solve the problem (no idea what was done).
So why I tested the very last leap 15 live usb pen, after discovering the computer was 64 bits, still blinking.
, with only minimal support for systemd. Maybe the
extended support 3.12 kernel for 13.1 could be used if you think the kernel is the problem, which I doubt. I do remember when new Sandy Bridge seemed to be particularly troublesome to support. Maybe it still is, and a special kernel or Xorg startup option would solve the blinking???
it's obviously a regression, as 12.1 works and finally after successful test I could install 13.2 :-)
still I guess it's a minor fix to do as 12.1 and 13.2 works with graphics. I would like to have Leap15 running. If the fix is simple I could instruct the owner (through mail) to test live Leap 15 with the fix :-)
thanks jdd Only in case. If this is or should be an ironlake chipset you have to (!) and

Otherwise older intel chipset will not function (in my experience) after Kernel 4.1 upward. There have been quite some regressions with the intel graphics driver. Not really thinking that Intel or anybody else does even think remotely to fix them. They need to sell new computers, I guess. _________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Ihre E-Mail-Postfächer sicher & zentral an einem Ort.
