Hi All I have set suse to run at 1024x768@85.I connected a monitor that does not support 1024x768@85 so now when suse boots i can not see anything. How can i get suse to load in 640x480@60 at boot time?

When it boots up, switch to run level 3 by typing init 3 Then open YAST2, and set it to not use that. On Friday 03 September 2004 16:11, it clown wrote:

It would have to be just "yast" in run level 3, not yast2, and I believe you can just type a plain "3" in the boot prompt. But I'm just picking on you :-) -- Bryce Hardy (Santa Rosa, CA USA) cygnia@sonic.net
Hi
I have tried it and it doesnt work. I have also tried linux
3. The broblem is that suse boots in a resolution of
1024x768@85 so init 3 will not help.Does suse have a option
to set the resolution before it boots?

IT Clown, try to boot Failsave from the boot menu, or, if you don't have this option, type 'vga=normal 3' in the parameter section before the boot timeout counter reached 0 and hit Enter. Once you see the login prompt, log on as root. If your problem is with the bootscreen resolution, call yast2 and select System -> Boot Loader Configuration. Edit the configuration file and change vga=XXX to whatever you want. 'hwinfo --framebuffer' shows the modes your graphic card supports. If your problem is with the X resolution, call sax2 and change the resolution there. HTH Michael BTW: please do not top quote, it is hard to follow a conversation this way. A real name would be nice as well ...

at grub specify 3 for linus mode 3 login> root type your password type SaX2 -l just memorize the sequence. I had an old monitor 14" from 1991 which stopped supporting 1024 so I learned the sequence blind without being able to see the screen legabily. _______ _______ _______ __ / ____\ \ / / ____|_ _\ \ / / | | \ \ /\ / / (___ | | \ \ / / | | \ \/ \/ / \___ \ | | \ \/ / | |____ \ /\ / ____) |_| |_ \ / \_____| \/ \/ |_____/|_____| \/
